Genealogical data was copied by Henry W. ocarbcroutjh from a pamphlet printed 
by the Eaworth Association, and. by him presented to the Congressional Library, 
the Pennsylvania Gonealof^ical society and the Bucks Coimty Historical Society. 
The readers hereof are requested to forward to Charles Davis, of High Point, 
IT. Carolina; Prof. :i]rasmus Haworth, of Lawrence, Kansas; and Henry W. Scarbor- 
ough, of 1200 Lincoln Building, Philadelphia, any additional data they may 
have relating to the Haworth or Scarboroug'h families. 

The Haworths mentioned herein are descended from v/illiam Scarborough, 
born in 1598, who resided on Hosier Lane, Parish of St. Sepulchers, London, 
3ngland, belonged to Peel jilonthly lAeeting of Friends, died in 1680, and was bur- 
ied in the r-=;;.r-f)ker Ally Burial Ground, where George Pox and about Twelve Thous- 
and (12000) other ;„uakers are buried. (See Book on LOUDON BURIAL GROLTDS) 

His son, John Scarborough, a London blacksmith, whitesmith and coat- 
smith, emigrated to Pennsylvania with his only son, John Scarborough, Jr., and 
about October, 1682 settled along the Neshaminy Creek, near Langhorne, Bucks 
County, Pa. (see Holme's Map cf Sarly Bucks County Settlements). In 1684, 
John Scarborough, Sr. left his only son John Scarborough, Jr. in the care of 
Friends and returned to London to bring over his wife. However, she refused 
\to emigrate to Pennsylvania. John Scarborough, Sr. died at Hosier Lane, Lon- 
don, at the age of sixty (60) years in 1706, and was buried at Checker Ally. 

^ John Scarborough, Jr. married Mary (to whom Sarah Farr 

of Burlington County, IT. j. left a legacy. See Page 159, Volume 23, First 
Series of the Hew Jersey Archives).

The present littlo volame ia not intended to be at all 
a ooraplete history of the H&worth family in Amarioa, but rnthor 
an aoeount of a recent attempt to iDuild up a history of the fam- 
ily since (Jaorge tho Timigrtait oame to Ainerioa in 1699, 

Family hiat-ori^B are nlviajB intoroRting if aocurate. 
The peoaliar oonditious ixnder whioh Amarioa was settled hy tha 
lilnglish seriously intorfarod v/ith prosorving family records, and 
our Araerio&n laws provonting entail^ment of property tands to dis- 
coarago aooare.ta family genaalogies , rather than to oncoarage 
them. It is only raoentiy in oar history that a study of the 
."Tanoalo^y of Amerioan families has taecorrje pooalar. It is great- 
ly to be hoped saoh atadiaa may inoraasa and that oar family Uis- 
toriss may beoome mora generally popular. 

AS far as iff now iaioiij, with but few exoeptions, the 
Haworth family of Amarioa sprang from one anoagtor, (iaorge, 
thxoagboat this little volume c&lled "George tho jirdgrai..t ,'' who 
oamo to A.morio& in 1699. It sesins that a sister Mary, who was 
nr;.rrlod to ons, Johii Myars, precajad him a ys&r or two, and that 
a first uouBin, named Jamso Hav/orth, also preceded him, but by 
how neny ye^irs wa cannot determine, P053sibly other members of 
the family followed him in a fow yaars, bat strangely, we oan 
learn nothlnc^ of tham if there were any. Goorge the 'Emigrant was 
a young, unmarried raAn when he reached Araerioa. It seoma ha 
stopped about a week with his sister, Mary Myerrj, who was living 
at a p?uaaQ near the Maryland line called Hurbells, or HurbillB, 
after which ho went on to Philadelphia umA lived with his firot 
cousin, James Hawoj?th, a short time, and later went to Backs 
Gounbj? , Pennsylvania, v;hore he purchased four hundred and fifty 
acres of land, on which he aesms to have lived the rermiindor of 
his life. In 1710, or about eleven yaa.r3 after roaching .Imeri- 
ca, he iKirried a Quaker lady by tho name of Scarbro. . He died 
lovembar S8, 17^4, leaving a widow tm& aix children, five aona 
and one daughter, namel^i^: Stephanas, .'...baalom, Jolui, Joaaes, Mary 
and George, Later, it seema three or four of the boya migrated 
to ?ir{jinla where at leaat two of thej-n v/are maxrieri. In a letter 
from JnglB-nd by Galeb Haworth, dated U:-5lifax, Yorkshire, ^iJigland, 
Lieptember 25th, 18E6 , it is stated that George the ']raigra.nt wrote 
letters to jjnglanci frequently until 1722, and that after his death 
a similar correspondence -.vaa kept up by his sister, Mary Hyoro, ^rnd 
her son j John Myers, until 1745. In a letter of that year John 
Myers stlatea: "Uncle George's children are all living. I heard 
from them all last spring by their uncle, John iJoarbro; three of 

1. 



them, to-wit, Stephanas, Absalom and John, are removed into Vir-i 
ginia, to a plaoe oallsd Opaokon. 'i'ho first tvi'o are married a- 
fflongst Friends', the other three, named J&mes, Mary and George live 
in Buoks County," (Pennsylvania), In a paper on "The Haworth Fam- 
ily in i'ymerioa,," read at the Plainfield meeting by H. M. Haworth, 
it is stated that Stephanas, Absalom, and James moved to Virginia. 
Also, in a paper before the Xansss City meeting on the Tennesaee 
branch of the family, Mahlon Ha?/orth, of Haryvillo, I'ennesseo, 
says that his (Jrandfather Richarti , a son of this Jamas, was born 
irj Virginia in 1745, or the year the letter of John Myars was writ- 
ten. We knov/ that ha married barah .vood, probably in Virginia, and 
that other ohildran were born and raiaed in that state. His third 
child, or second son, George, was born and married in Virginia, and 
Richard, born in 1745, was o,lao married in Virginia. Thaae state- 
ments are slightly at variance with those made by Caleb Haworth, of 
iSngland, I'his apparent diaorapanoy probably is explained by assum- 
ing that John Soarbro, confused the two sons, John and Jamas. 

It seems that the greater proportion of the descendant a 
of George the Jmigrant passed southv/ard from Pennsylvania into 
Virginia and llorth Carolina, and that some of them then traveled 
west into I'ennessee, then north into Ohio, from v/hioh plaS'e thoy 
scattered throughout Indiana, Illinois, lovm and the great .Vest. 
Thus far Vv'e have been unable to gain any intelligence of the de- 
scendants of those left behind in Pennsylvaxiia and Virginia. Steph- 
anas and his family apparsntly found conganial conditions in Korth 
Carolina, where the greater part of them still remain, a largo fami- 
ly. Absalom and James raised families in Virginia, Absalom's con- 
sisted of four children, one of whom remained in Virginia, but the 
other three moved to i-'annessee, where they raised families and died. 
The family of James principally moved to Korth Carolina, and then 
to Tennessee, and later pushed on through Tennessee into Ohio and 
the great viest, dtrangaly, as far as we have yet learned, a great 
majority of the entire family in America today are descendants of 
this one son of George the Emigrant. John, it searas, died without 
issue; but what became of the descendants of George and the daugh- 
ter Maxy ia entirely unknovm to the members of this association. 

The credit of the present revival of interest in the fam- 
ily history should be given to Rav . '. .e. Haworth, Llo has ex- 
pressed so well how this came about in hia introductory remarks 
at the Plainfiold meeting that no further explanation is here nec- 
essary. It seems he found the time ripe for such a movement, with 
one accord members of the family from Ohio to Oregon sad. south into 
JSorth Carolina responded to his call. 

At the present time the family genealogical tree ia well 
along towards completion, but not yet tiUito sufficiently so aa to 
warrfaat its publication. lYith a proper co-operation of other mem- 
bers of the family it is ballavad that by the time of our third re- 
union we may be able to construct a genealogical tree complete in 
all details up to the present date. It is earnestly hoped by all 
Y/bo hy.ve helped prepare this little volume that a special endeavor 
be made to locate descendants of George and his sister Mary, young- 
oat son and daughter of George the ;]migrant. It is further atronp;- 
ly desired that a particular ' effort be made to recall the history 
of his immediate children, where they vvent, hovK- they occupied fcheir 
time, and any and all other matters concerning their history. iaoh 
person should trace his ancestry back to ono of those six chilcUon, 
and as much .-jttantion should be given to the v.'ornen who change their 
names by marriage aa to the dejicendants in the male line v/ho retain 
tho name of Haworth,

Noto.-dorae time sinoe a oall was rosida to the members 
of the Haworth Family of America to be present at a reunion to 
b3 held at Plainfield, Indiana, at the olose of Weatsrn Yearly 
Meeting. I'his osll was made by Rev, W. P. Haworth, of Ottawa, 
I. 2., with tha statement that ina.tter8 of vital interest to the 
whole family would come before the meeting. As a result of this 
call the First Reunion of the Haworth JiVaraily in .Imerioa, v/as held 
as above indicated, and the following are the proceed ings of 
said meeting. 



First Reunion 
MOMIHG SBISSIOI^ - SiSPI. 21st. 

The Meeting was called to order by the '.temporary Chair- 
man Wra. P. HB.worth, Miss Mary Petty of lorth Garolinu was ap- 
pointed Secretary pro torn. A short devotional period was than 
entered into, led by Mrs. Milton Hanson, of Oarmel, Indiana. Af- 
ter the singing of "Grown Him Lord of All," the 90th Psalm was 
read, followed by a series of short prayers, and the singing of 
"When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder." The business of the Associ- 
ation was then taken up. 

Charles F. Haworth, of Ridge Farm, Illinois, suggested 
that those who rose to spa^ilc should give their names and address- 
es so that the,> might be better known, and that the secretary 
might have no trouble in getting the names. 

Lewis Reynolds, of north Carolina, suggested that speak- 
ers should speak distinctly so that the older ones present who are 
dull of hearing would be able to hoar as much as possible. 

John F. Spear wanted to know the liberties that those 
present had in the business, as some were only connected with the 
Family by marriaga. 

President ',V. P. Haworth: - I would say that all members 
of the Family, v/hether connected by birth or only by marriage, 
should have a part in the business of this Association. (Consent- 
ed to by Association). 

A committee of five was then a|>point8d on permanent or- 
ganization, as follo\rs: 

Rees Haworth, Richland, la. 
Martha Cross, Woirmal, la. 
John i\ Hav/orth, Quaker, Ind, 
Maria (Jnderhill, Green's Fork, Ind. 
J. JSlmore Haworth, Georgatovm, 111. 

This committee was to suggest a name for the Associa- 
tion, and make nominations for officers and report to the after- 
noon session. 

3. 



President .v. P. Haworth: - It a..39nis to me we will need 
a csomraittee to take material that oomes before no and gat it in 
shape to use on a program for our sessions, and let parsons who 
have material or haainess that shoald aome before the Association 
take it to the ooiamittoo first. 

Tho following oorajiiltteQ was then appointed to oonsti- 
tuta a ooramittee on program and business: 

Saraael Haworth, i'horntown, Ind, 
Charles 0. J^lewlin, .eiainl'ield, Ind. 
Mi 1 1 on Hans on , Gray , Ind , 

Mahala (Haworth) Fletcher, Ridge Farm, 111. 
Oarrie (Tla\Aforth) Henderson, Eoblesville, Ind. 
Tiotoria (Haworth) Petty, Arohdale, M, 0. 
---^=Williara Hav/orth, Griswold, la, 

Samuel Haworth, of rhorntown, Ind: - I am not selfish, 
but aa this is a Haworth Reunion, it would look well on paper to 
have the name HaViTorth on our oorrmiittees, 

Charles 0. Hev/lin and Milton Hpnson both agreed v/ith 
these remarks, but wera retained on the ooramittee by the Asaoo- 
iation. 

One of the lady members of the Association said, "I am 
a Haworth through and through, but I have had to change ray name*" 

Samuel Haworth then suggested that to rm'ka the name 
appear In the Association the sisters who had borne the name Ha- 
worth should put it in when giving their name in c.nything that 
conoerned the Association. 

A conmiittee on finance was thought to be advisable and 
the following persons were appointed as such a oomraittee: 

Isaac Haworth, Koblosville, Ind, 
William Haworth, illvirood, Ind. 
Charles F. Haworth, Ridge Farm, 111. 

President '7. P. Haworth: - It seems to me that we ho.d 
better have a smtill oomraittee, perhaps, to have charge of the 
Registration Book, as there is a certain plan that v;e would like 
to have followed in the registering of the names. I think we 
should have a small oomraittee to assist in this, and it should be 
appointed at once so aa to have the book in charge, that any per- 
sons who may have to leave the Association daring the afternoon 
may have a chance to register during the noon intermission. 

This was taken by consent and the following committee 
was appointed; 

Jonathan illis, Quaker, Ind. 

Lydia (Haworth) Mondenhall, Hiohmond, Ind. 

The following oomraittee on resolutions was also appoint- 
ed: 

Milton HansojTi, Gray, Ind* 

Carrie (Haworth) denderson, ilobleaville, Ind, 

Francis V/althall, Itaven, 111. 

At the suggestioi!) of Gharlas 0. I^ev/lin, the following 
committie on arrangements was appointed: 

Amos oaunders, Koblesville, Ind. 

rsila (Haworth) Bradway, Abington, 111.

Richard M. Haworth, Llbarty, Ind. 
Jaaper Haworth, Bridgeport, liid. 

M w i n iif ! w or t h , jix oms , Ind. 

Prosiflant W. P. Haworth: - J;iow, has oar OornmittQe oxi 
PhotOj3;raphs, appointed at an informal vaoetlng pravious to the 
Reunion, a report to raako at this time? 

Charles 0. Kawlin thon reported that the piotares ooald 
bo had at 45^ each if nfciiled, and that the .ihotographsr would he 
on the ground ahout ten o'olook: to arrange for taking the pioturo 
and that ho v/oald want from 15 to 30 minutes of tho time of the 
Assooiation in whioh to take tho piotiire, 

Calvin IJewlin, of Plainfield, Ind.: - 'i'he photographer 
was on tho grounds a few moments ago, and will ha ready at Einy 
time tho audienoo thinks proper, but ho would like to take the 
pioture sometime between no-.v (10:00 a. m. ) and noon. 

Charles .P. Haworth volunteered to look Jiftor the tak- 
ing of tho pioture, find the Assooiation then proooedel with the 
program of the morning. 

Origin of Re oni on 



presiaent .'if. if. aaworiin: - its mignx oe ui xnu 
the younger people, and perhaps to the older ones, to k: 
something of how this Keunion originated. I always Ilk 



President '*/. P. Haworth: - It might be of interest to 

know 

.ke in in- 
vestigating Miything to go baok to the root of it as far as pos- 
sible. Those of you who are acquainted with niysolf, know that 
I grew up at Vermilion, Illinois, surrounded by a good many Ha- 
Vi'orths. inhere v;ere several f amiliea , and as I would be going 
about with 'my father we would meet soma one of the name of Ha- 
worth and I would say: "What is the relation of thia Family to 
our own?" But tho answor I usually got was, "This Family is a 
close conneotioi!" or, "'Xhat one is not very close." I must admit 
this ^va.s not very aatisfaotory to ray boyish mind; taut I put it a- 
way and passed on in the ordinary chaxinela of boyhood life, emd 
until I entered the ministry, when I beoame more and more inter- 
ested in those bearing my name; until in the year 1886, I miida a 
short visit over into 'Ohio. During my visit I had an anxiety to 
visit the home of my fathe.-, who die(i v.'hon I was a boy of ten 
years. I oalled at Wilmington and became acquainted with soma of 
the Ohio members of the Family. I wb,q visiting at the home of 
Caroline D. Harland. iihe showed ma a number of papers relative to 
the Haworth Family, some letters written fifty years previous, and 
some other history of the Haworths of Clinton oounty, Ohio, I 
found that my interest was increasing very much, I learned there 
in reference to the emigration of George Haworth ixi 1699. 

The old impression e.:me upon me and I determined that 
if God should permit me to see 1899 I would take it upon myself 
to have a. Reunion of the Family at that time, That was thirteen 
years ago last spring. I did not do very much for soma time, but 
began to talk it. About six years ago I secured a number of 
printed slips and began in earnest. I had a number of slips 
printed with questions as to the name of the individufxl, place of 
birth, ancestors, etc. I undertook to put these slips into the 
hands of every Haworth I could hear of. I knew a great many of 
the Haworths, and where they were located, and I solicited the as- 
sistance of others. These leaflets have gone all over the coun- 
try, oome pigeon-holed them and never thought an,y more of it, 
whil © others carelessly thre?/ them aside. But soma answered them 
carefully ann mailed them to me. Praise the Lord for the Haworths I 
(As a number oarae into the meeting). 

5. 



In 1887, at ilraporia, Kanaas , I oame into possession of 
some information in regard to tho Tennassoe Family, One of nx^ 
slips aame into tho hj-rnds of Jamuel Hav/orth, son of Mahlon Haworth, 
than residing i/j ianneasae, now a minister in Iowa,, who wrroto me a 
letter of inquiry asking who I was, ray parent's name, line of an- 
oestry, etc. I "/as glad to answer, nnd asked hira to give me all 
tho information he ooalcl of the Ji'araily, He gave the genealogy of 
four or five familien of the Haworths. From the oopy that he sent 
me, and from the information I have seoured , I have arranged and 
prepared the diagram that hf-ixigs upon the wall here, whioh inoludes 
about 700 names. I do not olalm the shadow of perfeotion in the 
ch&rt, as I believe there are today two thousand and perhaps three 
thousand of the Family in the United States. That diagram is in- 
teresting to me more espeoinlly for the names and families of the 
anooators. It ia very imperfect for the present generations, ;7e 
will disoover when v'e go into the genealogy it will be a groat deal 
of labor to rafike it complete, but that is a thing v/e must acoom- 
plish. 

Here ia a unique reoord prepared by the Iov;a folka (re- 
ferring to a family tree v/hioh v^as brought to the Asaooiation by 
the delegation from Iowa). But this reoord oonfines itself large- 
ly to the Iowa branch of the Family, 

Our L-ieoretary, Miss Mary Petty, brings to us quite a com- 
plete genealogical reoord of the l^orth Carolina brajich of the .Fam- 
ily. I used to meet a great many people, and I would' say, "Your 
name is Haworth and my name la Haworth, now what relation are Vvra?" 
And they would say, "I oarae from IJorth Carolina," and vv^e would de- 
cide that we vi?ere no relation to each other. But I discovered that 
the great body of the Haworth i<^araily o.re one people and have descend- 
ed from the one araigrant. ("'^hile I talk I would be glad to have tany 
one who has a question to ask to rise to his feet and I v/ill give him 
a chance. ) 

There Vi^ere two objects in my mind in calling together this 
Association. iha first object was to celebrate the evont of the 
landing of the iiinlgrant, G-eorge Haworth, in 1699, who came to Ameri- 
ca with Vvilliara Penn on his second voyage. I'he other object is to 
put on foot influences that shall be for the good of the ffeanily out 
of which, to ray mind, if properly managed, may grow great good, per- 
haps to unborn generations, 'xhis latter waa the prime object of 
this Association. So we are here for these two purposes; for the 
celebration of the landing of the .immigrant, and to build up every- 
thing that is good and right in connection with our i^'amily. 

I v/ant to speak of tho name. I find four names closely 
allied. I find one Haworth, whioh is probably the correct name, 
and according to the best authorities it should be pronou2ioed 
Haw-orth. I find another name Hayv^orth, and another Uowartn, the 
same as our name with the o and a reversed, and I find still anoth- 
er name Howerth, giving us four distinct spellings, 'i'hese four 
names are being used and spelled throughout the country. Upon in- 
vestig' tion we find that those spelling their name Hayi/vorth belong 
to the game family as those epelling the name Haworth. V/hile I am 
on the point of the spelling of the na.me I am going to call on our 
Secretary, who is from North Carolina, where the spelling aeems to 
have been changed , to give us a little account of how that "y" ever 
got into the Haworth I'^amily. '"e will hear from Miss Mary Patty, 

Miss i'etty; - "I really cannot say how long since it was 
introduced. I see in li)oking over the deeda to ray great grandfath- 
er's place there was no "y" in it. My l>ither and uncles all 
spelled it v/ithout the "y"« I think the "y" muat have been intro- 
duced sometime in the last forty or fifty years, but tho old deeds 
and grants are made out Haworth. One of my great uncles spelled 



his name with tha "y". 

irrrtsidont '■', , P, Haworth; - 7ic3toria i?etty, did yoar fath- 
er as© th'.3 "y?" 

Victoria. Petty: - l"y father did not use it. I reraom'ber 
asking my iinol© why he spelled his name that way and he Baid, "I 
tuoaght that woald spell it better.'' But my father never asod It. 
I never knev? bat this one undo who did use tha "y". 

One of the Family who spelled the name layworth who was 
present said their name h^id been spelled that way ever sinoe he 
GO aid remember. 

President '7. P. Haworth: - I am not informed in regard 
to this branch of the Korth Carolina Ivarally. 'Ve vd.ll not take time 
now to hant that up, but will do that later. Ve are satisfied that 
it is the same fa.raily. '.^s have evidence that Haworth is the origin- 
al name. 

Wo will confine oaraelfes for a little while to the Emi- 
grant, I grew ap under the Imgrossion that there ?/ere three broth- 
ers who emigrated, and that they oame and Bottled in Pennsylva-nia, 
Virginia and Horth Carolina, I do not find a.nj genealogioal rec- 
ord that gives bat the one emigrant who oame with 'illiam £emi. in 
1699, Has any one any information as to whether it \faa one, two 
or three brothers that emigratecil? Oar aged friend jiiehard M. Ha- 
worth, of Liberty, Indiana, is prestanfc, I will ask if he has any in- 
forraation on thia point. 



Richard M. Haworth: - My information ivS that there was 



one. 



President W. P. Haworth: - toa any one any different in- 
formation? If not, we will conclude for the preiBent that there 
was but one, 

i'he speaker then asked a number of questions of the mem- 
bers present in order to corroborate the chart which he had pre- 
pared , which seemed to be almost entirely correct so far as it had 
bean filled out. Olarance Haworth, of Maw London, Indiana, was 
asked to give bis line of descent, and it was found that ho v/as tha 
only person present who vifas a descendant of i.bsalom, the second son 
of George Haworth the ijmigrant. 

An amusing incident v/as relisted of the daughter of James, 
the fourth son of the ilmigr.ant, in which it was stated that the 
daughter, Jemima, soon after her marriage to John V/right must htiva 
discovered that both their names began -with J. and they decided 
that all their children's names should begin with the same letter, 
30 they named them as follows: Jesse, James, Joseph, (John who 
died in infancy), John agfiin, Judah, Jonah, Jra-ie, Joshua, Jemima, 
Joab ond Joel, and then, the story goes, they had an old laLog and 
they called him Jov^rler. 

It was also fovuad that early in the History of the Ea- 

worth Family two sona had mfirried ■ri{':hts and tv/o had married 

Billons, so that these families are closely connected with the 
name Haworth. 

Tjio meeting then adjourned to have the picture taken, 
in which the four generations present are shown.

A Paper by oamael Haworth, of l'hor:atovvn, Ind. 

Mahlon Haworth was bom in T'rederio Oounty, Virginia, 
Tenth Month, .v;3rd, 1V75, His father, George Eaworth, was the 
so/i of James, the son of George the ilmi grant, who oame froca Lan- 
oashira, .ilngland , vjith William Penn, in 1699, Ris mother v/aa 
Susannah Dillon, In the early married life of hifs parents they 
moved to Ilorth Garulins and settled on the Yadkin River, near the 
home of I'sniel Boone, George fisr^orth and hia orotnor James aa- 
0OTf;panied l-aniel Eoone on his second visit to KentuGKy, their 
families being tv/o of the six families that made up the party that 
made the first attempt ever to settle Kentucky, ihey were vio- 
lently attacked by the Indian^3 and were ao diao our aged that the 
Haworth brothers returned to lorth Carolina, and remained there 
twelva year a, iUie^ then again went to Kentucky, but finding the 
Incllants still hoatila, they turnecl their course toward Greene 
County, i'enneasee, where George selected the platf© for his new 
home. He then returned to Korth Carolina, and, taking with him 
his two little sons, Mahlor.) and John, agod twelve and ton years, 
he returned to Tennessee, built a cabin and made other prepara- 
tions to receive his family. Ahen their work was dona the father 
returned to Idorth Carolina for his wife and other childroii, looV- 
ing the two little boys alone in the nev; home, with proviaiona 
enoagh, us he yuppoaed, to last tehm during his abaenoo, vibich he 
supposed would bo about three weeks. High w.-xters, however, and 
other impedimenta to travel on pack-horses, detained them six 
weeks. rairing this time their i>rovision3 gave out and those boys 
were obliged to subaist on parohed corn, roots and bari'ieB, such 
as they could gather in bhe woods. ihey ware also afraid of an 
attack from the Indians, anft when at last their parents arrived, 
the boys ran to meet them with out-stretched arms, i'ho morther 
sprang from her horse, clasped them in her arms, find they all wept 
together for joy,

Phete Frosiler. Their hom« vms ok the Little dolson Oliver. Fish 
was ari important artiole of their food ^nd thoy usod a groat raa.ny. 
In order to cotoh thoin they bixilt a small dam aoroaa the Hols^on 
and bolo'.v that they fixed slats so the fish ooald' not get through. 
Hleoh faTBlly had its morning to go and g&t fish and if they caught 
more tbaa they needed, thay divideci with others, 

'i'hey rosidocl hera near Grsanville, until tha pionear 
spirit again imoQlled thorn to Beak: a naw horag in tha unopened 
forest. In 1800 Mahlon Haworth made a proBpeoting tour in Ohio 
and pushed his explorations as far as tha Little iaiaiai and Mad 
Hivers. Some authorities say his father aoooraptinied him j't this 
tiii3. --roba'bly he would h?:ive raovoc to Ohio tha/j. had not his wife 
objected to doirii:^ so. His father raoved to Ohio in the fcill of 
1803, anr! Mahlon and hi'5 family Gajpe the following year, with the 
families of John and James 'riglit, reaohin^^ the plaae they oeleot- 
ed for their home early in November. They oroased the Ohio Kiver 
at Oinoinnati, then b. town of eighteen houses. It is said that 
Mahlon iiaworth had a very fine horse- celled "Major" and that at 
Oineinnafci he was offered, some say 150 aoroB, some say 90, of the 
land vfhere the aity now stands for thia horso, out xelt -Diit-.t ho 
oould not part with hira, 'Ihay moved in four-horse wagons Ocillea 
the "Old Yirgrinia i.vagon," and arove oat tie and stool?: behina, Mah- 
lon Hawortb rode the "wheal-horse" and drove over Glinuh hloanbain, 
otrrylng his infant daughter , ^^--uaannah, in hia arms, i'hey aaci also 
with them three older ohildren, Rebecoa, G-eorge Dillon, and iiaek- 
iel. 

I'he wife's unwillingness to come to Ohio has hefore been 
mentioned. It is said that one xiight she droamod that a sv/arra of 
bees oame past the house, end that she xioo.k after tbem and fol- 
lovsed them until they finally settled by a large spring, and there 
she left thera. When she awoke the next morning she told hor hus- 
band that she •v'^a.s ready to move to Ohio. Qpon ooming to this 
state thoy drove right on through the woods, blading the trees as 
they went, that they might be able to return, until they oame to 
tbo spring, of whioh the wifo hi^d dreamed, tma there they settled. 
The land selected was on 'lodd's IfPork, two miles north of v/here 
■'.ilmington now stands. G-eorge and Mahlon fiaworth and John and. 
Jam.es " right v^ere among the earliest settlers north of VJilraington. 
They came too late to build comfortable houses before winter and 
Mahlon Saworth hastened to build a temporary oabin of round logs, 
tho cracks filled in ift'ith moss, and they raovon into it vYithout 
waiting for a floor, fireplace, or shutter for tha door. They 
built a fire in the middle of the cabin and let the smoke pass 
out through qjenings in the roof, a bediiuilt vs/aa hung up ^-t tho 
door and forked sticks driven into the ground, with poles laid 
'QTOBfi them, served to put their bed on. One night soon after 
their arrj.val, the horses were so restless, moving aoout and shak- 
ing their halter chains, that Mr. Eaworth got up to see what was 
the matter. On looking out and seeing the prospect he called to 
his wife, "Phebe, hard times are at the door." A deep snovv h<ad 
fallen and continued to fall until it sms two feet deep. 

In the bottoip on the opposite side of iodd's Fork, was 
a camping ground of the Indians, and, in the season when they oc- 
cupied the grounds, the lights of their camp were plainly seen 
from the cabin, and Irjdians 7,'exQ not unfrequent visitors there. 
'ihey gave the children many frights but always seemed friendly. 
The well-known Incisu, Logan, was often at their house. One ev- 
ening Indian meal mush had been prepared for supper and just as 
It was placed on the table an Indian came in. He was asked to 
sit dowi and eat, and did so, putting a spoonful of hot mush into 
his mouth without cooling it. He rose very ojagry, thinking he 
was the victim of a practical joke, but when it was explained to 

11. 



him, and he was shoi/rn how to cool the mash in milk, he was ap- 
peased. 

Once, when tho father was from homo, an Indian lifted 
the qailt thr^t hung at the door, and looked in, theai leaving his 
gun oataide, be walked in, took a soBt on a stool, took oat a 
hatchsr knife am delibsratoly sorapad the Jpanish noedles from 
his loggings. Then in broken .'English he asked for food, and upon 
being sappiied with a hearty lueal, he qaiotly departed. The game 
day three bears aeme within a fev/ feet of the houss. 

At one t.irna they hidd bat oxv3-!;ialf bushel of meal and 
four horsaa, two aows, and eix people to feed. x'h.3 naarerat plcea 
to obtnln provision was Viayii'^javiile, fiftaan nilea <^v/ay. The

ily gone tv/o days, and the mother foid children were loft at home 
with the Indian oarap in plain view on tho other Bide of tho uroek. 
They oat spiaa drasn to feed the oovvb and wild ryo for "che horaes. 
Saoh were some of the early experienoeis of that little fs.;aily in 
their snow-bound home, 

>S0Gn after their arrival they exohanged ?flth Timothy 
Bo'onett , a horse for one hundred buah-ilw of aorn, ■i small quanti- 
ty of hog rnoDt, Hnd a Bnmll hog, 'ibia «dth -fild turkey, bear meat 
and ve:?iison, 7/as all the meat thQ-^ had until they ooald raise it. 
For tsorao time they ground corn fo.r bxesii with a hand-mill. Aside 
from thi;3 their breadstuff s were brought from the Littles •Ila?rd, 
near ./aynesvills, £.nd were brought on the baoka of horses. 

•I he next fall after tivjy came to Ohio a man came along 
with a buneh of sheep, i-'hebe tlaworth was aitixiouo they should buy 
some, but hor huaband hesitated to do bo on aooount of the vvolves, 
iT'Jnail^ he oought two ewes for hie wlfo, and e-hQ kept tharo, housed 
■by the ohimney all winter to keep theia from the wolves. In tha 
spring thoy had two lambs apioue, all e?/a lanfoa, the na:st spring 
thsy all six hai two lambs each. In four years they had forty 
hsad of aheep from those tv/o ewos, I'hess Phebe Haworth always 
oallod the swarm of bees she follv^sd to the spring. 

In this rude oabia end during this cold winter weather, 
tt. daughter, Mary (or £'olly aa yha weu called), was borj.i. .She waa 
e beautiful girl and waa the admired of all the ooantry round, but 
in hnj: young womanhood, in th© midat of hiar lovlln-ass, she diod. 
On this farm were alao born to Mahlon and Phebe Haworth their chil- 
dren, Phebe:, iiiahlon, John, i^lijah, Vainefe B.n&- Richard. Kebeoca, the 
eldest child, died in early womanhood, John and James in inftoioy. 
I'hs ram-yining eight Qhlldic^n lived to be rofox>eotad find ihfluantial

At tho close of the war of 1812, tharts came to 'lahlon 
Hav/orth's house a oomptaiy of "Light Rorse," aa they were called, 
which had been in the service daring the vsiar. The horses were 
nearly daaa, were poor, with aorw backs, and their legB terribly 
swollen vvltn '"'tho scratches. " Ho took them all in, fed and helped 
to doctor them for weeks, until they were 'Aell and able to travel. 
One only of these horses died and was hauled out into the woo-ds.

MM HA'^OHTH. FAMILY IH MQKTH QAROLlii^ 

By Miss Mary M. Petty, Greensboro, tu 0. 

Stephanus Haworth, one of the six children of George the 
Smigrant, is said to have left hie home in Virginia on the btinks 
of the Opakan and settled in North Carolina - the place being un- 
known. 

On their journey, as the story has been handed dowrx, the 
party was attacked by Indians, They were so closaly pursued by 
their foe that they Ysexa forced to resort to stratagem in order 
to throw the Indians off their trail. They were oaniping near a 
stream when the little fioe dog which they were taking with them 
gave warning of the apx^roaoh of the foe. They immediately gathered 
up their bundles and waded down the stream for several miles. In 
so doing their bedding, clothing, etc. , which they were carrying 
on their backs fell into the stream and bacaraa very wet. As soon 
as they thought themselves In safety, they oitohed their ca^mp a- 
gain, B-nd. proceeded to spread out their clothing to dry. But a- 
gain the Indians appeared on the so one and our unfortunate ances- 
tors were forced to flee, leaving all their worldly possessions be- 
hind them except the clothing they wore, and the aforesaid little 
fioe dog, whoso mouth was tightly tied with hickory bark in olSder 
that its bark might not betray thesa to their exceedingly vigilant 
foe. 

otophanus Haworth had three sons and four daughters, but 
only two sons settled in liorth Carolina - Kicajah and Qeorge, with 
whose descendants this narrative deals. The other children v/ere 
Stephanus, Charity, Phoebe, 'i/ilmot and Hachel. 

Mioajah iiaworth, the oldest son, settled on the rtouth 
fork of Rich Fork, a tributary of Abbott's Croak, in what was 
then Rowan, but now known as .Davidson County, JSorth Carolina, 
three and one-half mJ.les from High Point, and twenty miles from 
Salem, in Porsyth County. 

His land v/ag granted to him by Grovarnors Caswell and 
Martin October 35th, 1786, and also a second grant, 1791. The 
original grant is now in the possession of Miria.m and Rebecca 
Aright, granddaughters of Micajah. They also have the old fami- 
ly Bible containing a record of the births of his children. 

15. 



ThQ old house in whloh ha lived and died is still stand- 
ing, having: been slightly repaired, jind moved perhaps forty yards 
from the spot where it originally stood. One poplar log in the 
wall of the hoase was used as a bovii and arrow target by the boys, 
and today shov/s the effect of the firrows. 

Mioajah Haworth ereoted a mill on Abbott's Greek, which 
is still in ase and belongs to some of his desoendants. 

Mioajah Ha.worth had eleven ohildren: 

John, born May 27, 1765; died April 6, 1814. 
Stephanas, born January 1, 1767; died. 
Samuel, born Maroh 18, 1769. 
Mioajah, Jr., born October 25, 1771. 
Elijah, born May 85, 1774. 
Geori^e, born August 24, 1776. 
Josiah, born February 8, 1779. 
Jeremiah, born May 14, 1781. 
Baohel, born Janugxry 25, 1784. 
Mary, born l^ovember 5, 1787. 
Ruth, born Deo ember 3, 1790, 

(Jeorge Haworth, brother of Mloajah - being the third 
son of Litephanus, settled in the County of Guilford, adjoining 
Eowan on the ;ioath, and v/hile they were not more than ten or 
twleve miles apart, there seenB to have been very little oommuni- 
oation between the two families, 'oo separated have they been 
that today their descendants are almost perfect strangers, or at 
least were, until the call for a Ha.worth Reunion made them known 
to each other. IThis George Ea?/orth of the third generation (count- 
ing the iimigrant as the first generation) also located near a creek 
and later on built a mill, his son Henry making the millstones for 
the same. This mill passed out of the Ha.worth family manj years 
ago, was repaired and practically rebuilt by John Garter, well known 
in lorth Carolina and also in Xansae, where he di«kd a few years ago. 
It is still known as "Carter's Mill," and is r.io\si owned by two of 
his daughters. 

ihe house in which George Haworth lived is no longer 
standing, and an aged pear tree alone remains to mark the spot, 
/mother' house was ereoted near this place and was oooupied at one 
time by Clarkson Haworth, a grandson of George, and later by an- 
other grandson, ilnglish Haworth. 

George Haworth married Margaret 'Xhornbury a sister to 
the first wife of iJathan Hunt, a, famous minister among Friends, 
He roared a family of seven ohildren, Bli, Henry, John, Stephanas, 
Rachel and '?ilmot. 'i'he daughters never married, John and iiteph- 
anus went west and the record stops as far as they are concerned. 
She Great West seams to have swallowed them up, and the silence 
has never been broken, i'ioraewhere, without doubt, there are Ha- 
7/orths who are descended from them but we in North Carolina know 
nothing of them. The other three sons married and settled in Eorth 
Carolina, near their Father's plantation. 

George Haworth (3) lived to be 94 years old and was prob- 
ably buried at Springfield, though nothing marks his grave nov;^. 

Turning now to the history of the three sons who remained 
in Uorth Carolina - 31i, Henry and George of the fourth generation 
wc find that i^li, born in 1782, married in 1806 Mary Boyd, the 
groat aunt of Col. J;imes :3, .Boyd, now .Assistant attorney General 
of the United states. His father gave him a small farm joining the 

16. 



home plantation, and "by Industry and hard labor he soon found 
himaalf in possession of a large tract of Innd. The house i4 
whioh ha lived and died is still standing,-, being oooupied by one 
of his daughters, while his son Frsmklin lives near and has charge 
of the fsrin. 

'illi and Mary Boyd Haworth reared a family of fourteen 
ohildren, the largest in the entire oonneotion, namely, 

George, 

James , 

Sli, 

Elizabeth, 

Margaret, 

Abigail, 

Hfuana h , 

Mary, 

1)00 tor Henry, 

Rao hoi , 

Catherine, 

Franklin, 

Sarah, 

Minerva, 

Of these rSllsabeth, familiarly called "Aunt Betsy" by 
everybody who knew her, Hachel and darah never raarried, Franfclin, 
although married, has no ohliaren. George, James, Hannah, Abi- 
gail, ijlary, Catherine, Margaret, iiJlizabeth, Jjootor Henry and Haoh- 
q1 are dead. 

aii Haworth, fourth generation, was a hard worfeing, in- 
dustrious man. Always a man of his word, he was mueh trusted by 
his neighbors, Ee was a farmer, and was ooiisidered well-to-do for 
his day. He always kept sis or eight fine horses, and in the fall 
he used these to great advantage in aiding emigrants going vYest» 
He sometimes went as far away as Pasquotank County in the extreme 
eastern part of the state and hel'ped ifriends in the general exo- 
dus . 

At one time there was a party of thirty families under 
his oare. He wouldbring them to his homo in the central part of 
the state, where they would camp for a week or tvro , making prep- 
arations for the long journey to the Far West. 'Dhe writer of this 
paper has hearrl iJli Haworth 's daughter speak of the great weight 
of the boxes, owing to the quantity of pewter ware they oontained. 
He made seven such trips to Indiana ano Illinois, each trip occu- 
pying from three to six months. His oldest son George was his 
companion on several trips, and once his daughter Polly was al- 
lowed to go. i'/hen his sons George and James v/ere old enough they 
were permitted to go alone with a party of emigrants. The route 
lay through Virginia, est Virginia, etc., crossing Mew Hiver, 
Virginia, and the Ohio. Among the numerous families thus piloted 
to the }?ar '-eat Y/ere the I'ruebloods, Bonds, Harlfans, and Hodsons. 
On the return trip they often brought down loads of apples and 
Chestnuts from the mountains through v/hioii they passed, i'ili Ha- 
worth died in 1866 and was buried in the old .jpringfield Burying 
Ground bj; the side of his wife, who preceded him only a few years. 

Henry Haworth, (4) brother of Jli, settled on a planta- 
tion near his brother, and not very far from his father's place, 
also in Guilford County. He married ^ilizabeth ioyd , a sister to 
his brother's wife. Besides his farm work, he carried on a black- 
smith and wagon shop v/hare he taught his sons a trade. He was a 
man of his word at all times. If he ever set a price on a piece

dv 



of work, no fluotaations in market value aoald over ohango his 
prioe; and if he ever told his oastomers anything in raj^ard to his 
work for them, thoy ooain always depend on it. The prodaata of 
th8 shop wore as substantial and honost aa the man who xavxie thera. 
His wife was a notable woman. Had sha lived tod_ay, aha might have 
bean a rioctor in nnraa , hb she then was in deed. In oa»e of illnoas 
she was sent for first and if she said "Send for tho dootor," he 
was sont for, othar?;ise he was not saTiuaonad. Their family consist- 
ed of eleven ohildren: 

Ann, 

Mar,'=tar0t, 

Henry , 

Raohel,

John, 

Asenath, 

Olerante'-n-g ,

Of these only one is living today - lathan who resides 
somewhere in the Blue Kidge Mountains of Virginia, i'he oldest 
child married .idward Bond and moved i'est. Her brother John set- 
tled in Moore Ooonty, Worth Carolina, and establishes^ a mill whioh 
I am tolc! is now oalled liovm-Td.' 3 Mill 8.nd the larger number of his 
daaaondants are known as Howards. alii went V/est, and his desoend- 
anta are unknown. Adam ran away from home when quite young sjid 
nothing has evar bean heard of him slnoe. OlarariiE-ins Eaworth set- 
tled in Randolph Oounty near tho G-uilford line, having married 
Mary Wheeler, 'i'hey had five ohildran, all of whom are married and 
living except Oliver, who died vThen a ohild . Olommans Ilaworth was

trade. He ?/as a magistrate and deputy sheriff of his county, A

worth l-iinshaw, 'illwood Haworth, superintendent in a cottoa mill in 
Salisbury, W. 0., and i'-hoebe Eaworth Swaim. 

Marmaduke Haworth was a very successful physician in 
ITranklinsville, N. C« , and was greatly loved and respected by his 
neighbors and associates. He had three daughters - only one of 
whom is living, Mrs. Pandora Jfraaier, High Point, E. (J. 

Lindley Haworth had five daughters - four of whom are 
living - names unknown. 

Seorge Haworth, fourth generation, settled on a farm 
south west of his father's place and later on built a house near 
the Model Farm on what is now oalled the immeline Mendenhall plr.oe. 
He staked his land off one night by the Worth atar, and so x^laoed 
his house that at 12 o'clock the sun would shine directly in the 
porch. He «wn©d about 200 acres. He married Margaret -ilnglish, a 
sister to Raohal I'Oiulinson. He carried on his farm and also ran 
teams from Fayettaville and Vilmington into Xoimessee, taking spun 
cotton and factory woven cloth and bringing bacic iron, bacon, 
feathers, basswood, etc. He usually kept eight horses, using six 
t :i his wagon and leaving two for the farm xirork. His children at-

Of the Haworths de-scended from Mioa;ja,h - as was previous- 
ly stated, very little is known to the writer, and that has been 
learned only in the last year, i'hey are chiefly farmers, end in 
church preference seem to be Baptists - while those descended from 
George are generally found to odhereto the faith of the immigrant 
and a.re members of the Society of Friends. 

I'lote- ihis has been written solely for the purpose of re- 
cording all the information the writer has concerning the Haworths 
most of which has been picked up through conversations with the old- 
er members of the family in Horth Carolina. It may be of interest 
to some, but will doubtless be of no interest to others, 

Charles 0. Mewlin, Plainfield, Ind:- I want to refer to 
one item in the paper in regard to the residence in i'enneasoe. I 
would ssy that the farm on the Holson Fciver is in Jefferson County 
instead of Green County. 'Vhen I v;as there in 1865, the old fish 
dams wero still there, and old Uncle Uavid Ha.worth, who was then 
living there, was talking of his 1,557 acres of land. 

President V. .P. Haworth;- Has any one else any rominis- 
oenoe that would be of interest? 

19. 



.<$•! 



Thomas Heaaderson, loblesville , Ind:- I am i?lad to be 
here. I was paazled for a whll's* I was a little like tho Tiia.-n 
who traoed hia imcestry baok to his father, bat ooiildn't got .'jjiy 
farthar. H.o said his father was a horo, his mother was a sho-ro 
Slid be was a, hobo. I em of better atook. My grandraothor was Sa- 
rah Haworth, her father was nichard H. Eaworth. I am from that lino 
I am oonnaotad with the family in two wa.ys, I married a Haworth. I 
noticed in the latter that my raothor was born in iennessea, near 
My.ryville. I am especially interestad in the Haworth line booaase 
I did not undaratand it until I oara'S here. My mother died whan I 
was six ygars of age. I feel lik:o saying thi-^, that keeping ap 
this 'istory is a good thing, and I want to enoourf;.sa it beoause 
I believe ^ve ought to teaeh oaf ohildron differently from the way 
in Vv'hioh we have been taught. I believe they ought to know some- 
thin,?; about the genealogy of the family; and I want to praise the 
Lord for being here and knoYi/ing that I have good relations, 

John Henderson, Quaker, Ind,:- My mother was a Haworth, 
and I have heard her tell some incidents that ware interesting, and 
some things that were a little diverting sometimes. I want to eay 
in regard to tho early settling of that country and the starting 
of 3 meeting, I have heard my mother tell some rather peculiar inoi- 
dentt, ■■".hen they first comra'snoed the firat summer, they would hold 
a meeting at Vermillion, which is about ten miles away from where I 
live. I'here vfas no road, ^ii^^'t' ^^ trackless prairie. My mother said 
they would then come from Vermillion to Hopewell (the name of my 
meeting) the next l^'irstday and they held their meeting at TJnele 
John Hav^^orth's. They would go sometimes with ox teams, and they 
would go that distfmoe back and forth and hold their meetings. We 
do not often have silent meetings at Hopewell, but oooaaionally I 
have been in a silent masting. But they nearly a-lm^ays had Bomethihg 
to aay in these meetlnga ana I think the enemy sometimes took ad- 
vantage, as ho doeo now, While they no doubt had good ministerB 
who preached the Gospel, tboy had some others who only imitated and 
got in some things that were not always the very best. I will tell 
you one thing that I heard her say. oome woman there got very 
much disploaSQd because they had so many dogs at meeting (they most 
all had dogs and mmj of them would take them along) , and one day 
she spoke ;vbout it and Stiid, "I'here is ono fellow; nearly always I 
see him lying there," But some one answered: "That is a v ery 
sure sign that his master ia present." One woman got up one day 
and sale! : "Oaliool Oaliool Vho'd hvave thought that Aunt Betty's 
girls would ever wear oaliool" It- was thought strange when they 
first bogsn to wear calico that any ono should wear it. But with 
all these peculiarities I do not doubt for a moiuent but th^-'i.t they 
had true worship 'n those meetings. Ihey ?/ere closely allied to 
each other and they soon established meetings at both of these 
places, 'i'hat was about ISSS that I speak of." 

A Member:- I do not call in question the statement of 
our brother that there was just as true worship then as now. 

The matter of perfecting the genalogioal records was 
brought up and after some diseuooion it was left in the hands of 
the Executive ComiTiittee. 

It was decided that the evening session ahould be of a 
devotional character, 

•ihe .issoai.stion then adjourned until 8:00 o'clock on the 
morning of the 22nd,

It is often difficult to asoertain preoisely the orl;:3:ln 
of ngi.mes, either local or personal, as from the mixed state of our 
l&nguage, '^nd the rexj^eated v;-.-.riatlona in its orthography, the oty-

v;ard3 the oriF:in of local names the loss thoy are modified, and the 
greater is the •probability that any person wp.s really born at the 
plaae whoca name he bore. Many persons, s fter the Introduotion of

supposed to have been ori;C:inairy local, but afterv?:^rd« assumed as 
a family name with the word "de" before it, whioh in prooeBS of 
time was diaoontinued. 'i'here ±b reason to believe it originated 
in the Saxon word, haeg, which signifies merely a hedge, ^vhioh was 
softonod do'jvn into the old Frenoh haie or haye. j^'he word is of

It eppeara from the Parish rerristors that libout the lat- 
ter end of the sixteenth and the beginning of ;;ho seventeenth oen- 
turies several families of thie narne residea in the neighborhood 
of HaBlinfl^cieri , and a still greater namb.'>r in the Parish of Kook- 
dale, .'md forest of Hoasondala, where many of their nuiiieroas da- 
soendp.nts remain to this day. Amongst a multitiLde of farailiee of 
the same name, and residing at the same Parish, and the iraperfeot 
state of the Parochial rag;iaters for the .first oontary after their 
ooramencvement , ajid with little or no other guide, I have foand it 
difficult to trace the true line of oar ancestry further b&ok 
than the middle of the 17th oontiay, about whioh time it appears 
from some written document^, as also from the testimony of John 
Collins, John i.lawaliffo and other aged persons, attended with 
othar ooroborating oirouraatanoea, that our aneostora were James and 
Isabelle his wife',' who resided at Rockoliffe, near Baoap, in the 
Parish of Hookdale, at which place he died about 1684, ieavinf? 3ix 
ohiloren, via., Mary, i^iarah, Susannah, George, Jaraea, and another 
daupchter whose name oannot be ascertained. For an aooount of 
their ciGscondants sea the pedigree. x'he said Isabelle Haf/orth, 
after her said husband's death, married one John Ormerod, but had 
no issue by him. The first mentioned James aaworth had two brot h~ 
ers, Henry and '.Villiam, both of whom were married, Henry had two 
children, i^lizabeth and Eenry, hereafter more particularly men- 
tioned, and 'Ulliam had ens son naffl.9d J.-^raes , who emigrated to .ianer- 
ica about the latter end of the 17th century and resided in Phila- 
delphia. He was married and had one ("daughter, but nothing foi'thor 
is kno^fioa of the family. 

Mary, the daughter of the said Jtumes and Isabelle Ha- 
worth marriec! one John Myers, and both emigrated to America about 
the year 1597 or 1698. They at first reaic^ed on the sea coast 
bordering on the otate of Maryland at a place called Harbilla, 
where he followed the business of a Hatter. It ia not \novra how long 
they remained hare. But, in 17S5, &£.rj resided at; Le.Tistovv'n in Penn- 
sylvania, her husband having been then dsad about five years, and 
left four children, viz: John, Jamea, Mary and barah, tv/o others 
having died in infancy. For an aoooant of their desoendanta sea 
the pedigree. I.'L^ appears to have Joined Friends many years be- 
fore her husband '3 death. He seemed more inclined to the Ohuroh of 
iiagland. She died about the year 1728 and waa buried at Lev.'iatown 
in a piece of ,o;roand given b}/ her for a Friends' i^/arial G-rouiid. 

George Haworth (George the Emigrant), son of th-i said 
James and Isabell Ilavvorth, also emigrated to .America in the yaar 
1699, in oompanj? v\'itb one of his sisters and her husband, who both 
died on their passage, she having borne a child whioh died a few 
days after. And the ship in whioh they want bein^^ so extreraely 
crowded with people and the weather hot caused a jjreat mortality a- 
mong them, there dying in the ship about 56 persons and at shore a- 
bout iiO more, after a hard passage of 14 weeks. I'he said George 
ttaworth on his arrival in America lived a short tijoe in Philadel- 
phia, with his cousin Jamea Haworth, son of 'Villiam lia-.TOth before 
mentioned, but soon after went to reside in the Gounty of Bucks, 
where ha purchased about 450 acres of land in the woods whioh em- 
ployed a part of his time in clearing. He also follov/ed linen 

weaving. About the year 1710 he married a Friend of the name of

Phebe, Sarah, Sachel, Jaraas, -Tiilisa'beth, Oharity, laaao, V/illiara and 
Susannah. 

Charles 0. llewlin, Plainf ielG , ln6:- I woald like to 
make a few remarks on the 'rioxk. of the -::xeoutive Committee, ■'e see 
that what has been done has oost a good deal end we are thtmkfal 
for what has been done. But there is yet a great deal to be done 
before it is made perfaot as it oan be, so th&t the .ilseaative Com- 
mittee has a great deal on their henda. I think that vm ought to 
help them all that •■■?e can find do all that Vve oan towards bringing 
out and perfeoting this history. 

President '".'. P. HaTirorth:- Mias Petty has some sugges- 
tions to make. 

iiiias Mary i.I. Petty:- It is juat about the points of 
which we might keep reoords. i'here are certain thinga v;e might 
Just as well get aaid save trouble hereafter, for exarapl;;, when you 
have a ohancjo to look ao any person's record, you might take these 
points: 'A' hare the person was borji, n&mes of parents, v/hen a,nd to 
whom married, v,;ho the husbend's or wife's father and mother were, 
when the person died and where, or, if living, the number find names 
of ohil(5ren, etc. 

Prasldewt 'U P. Haworth:- I think the 'Ixecutive Commit- 
tee will find it nseessfiry to print a nevv- sat of blanks and that they 
will be plaoed in the hands of th© State Orge?lizations to perfeot. 
We will get them just as perfect as possible and hope to have Dome 
oomparatively perfect genealogy by the time of our next Reunion. 

If there is nothing else '.ve will spend some time in devo- 
tion and close under the coverlnR of the i-ivine Sipirit, and with n 
feeling of gratitufJe and thanksgiving to the Lord for the blessings 
we have reooivod In our thus raeating together. ■.7hile we recognize 
the blessings of God attending thia'i^eunion let us remember the en-. 
tire Family'. The Lord bless us in our closing momenta togetherl 
let us pray I 

Calvin Hollingsworth then made sodie remarks. In regard to 
the badge worn by the merabera doi'ing the issociation he aaid: "It 
makes us feel acquainted v/hether vve have ever met before or not." 
Ea was glad that at the evening devotional meeting when tha Christ- 
ians were asked to riae nsorly all o.xose. He said that while it was 
hardly possible that we would all m.eet together again this side of e- 
ternity his prayer was that v/e should all meet in that other Icmd, 

Mrs. Hedley, of .'/ilmington, 0.:- .1 think that one reason 
we heve enjoyed ourselves so well during this Reunion is that we are 
all interested in the same Jesus. Hardly eny one vdth v/hom I have 
spoken hfis not aaid something of the prospects of a home in Heaven. 

Jpmes iiaworth, of Amo, Indiana, the oldest Roworth in 
attendcnoe ;it the Heunion, made sorae very touching remarks and sang 
a song entitled, "I'arry with Me My iJaviour." Others spoke of 
their thankfulness for having been able to be at the Reunion; fol- 
lov/ed by prayer by "'illon li. Vvilliaras, of Centerville, Indiana. 

After the reading of the Minutes of the closing session

S '3 3 end. Et;tiorial :''© union of ths Ha,v,'orth Paraily of America. 

It is peculiarly fitting that this Ivleeting should be 
held in Miaaouri tha conter of the great Middle West where so many 
of our family are no?/ making thair homoa. It is particularly in- 
tereating to remoraTjer that while at one tlraa Kissoari was a slave 
state and that she in common v^ith all other states and territories 
of our groat Union is now dsliverad from the de))asing and accursed 
traffic of human slavery, that we \yho are gathered here represent 
a family who were untiring in their efforts, with perhaps the 
rarest exception to rid our fair land of this dark stain. 

We welcome you then to the great state of Missouri which 
stands second to out few if any of the groat atatais of our Union 
in her natural, res our cos. 

We welcome yoa to our fair oiJrj or cities at the mouth 
of the Kaw, tha ?-aatropolis of the South 'Ye&t, not itaproperly 
oalle':^ the xMxn Ojties; and may thair union be like the band that 
should ev<ir bind us together as a xamily and iomind us of tha 
lives of David and Jonathan the tyd.n nons of Richard of old. 

We T/ant you to inspsat and imitate all that is good and 
Qomniendable in our city. May much of her prosperity, vi;-;;or and 
push be ours to en.joy as a family. Our fathexs did their work 
nobly in their day and generation in clearing;; che forests openir.g 
up the virgin soil marking the forest and prairie alike to blossoiu. 
as the roae and blaKinj^ the way for msmy of the groat ooinmonYfoalths 
of our j^raat nation, we are no^Y privileged to enter into the fruits 
of their labors. 

Will we do our ^'crk as well as thoy did theirs? i'hat we 
may is one of the purposes of this Meeting, i^he hunian raind in acme 
respects rooerables a bow which if oonotantly retained at a high 
tenaion in any one direction looses much of its elasticity and pow- 
er of action. In th-? next few days of this M-setini;^ we ask you to 
forget the ooiaplex; duties of the office, shop, counting house or 
farm and t'pcnd these few da7/s in living over agaiiA the happy sosnea 
of your cshildhoc'd, 

SLfuy these few days not only be spent in ha,ppy reminis- 
oc-ir<.o9 but in wise legislation and olejining for the future so that 
children yet unborn may 'he the vvigar, happier and better by reason 
of these Meetings. Again I bid you welcorae.

Bj' Prof, ''Srasifl'is Haworth, LaTO'eno'^ , Kansas, 



Dear l?riends and Raiativas: 

This is an aaspioious oocasion, one for whioh all of us, 

I traet, ars thanlrful, and ono to which, raany of us have looked 
forward with gr'aat pleasure in antiaipation. I am glad our fsjni- 
ly has finally TDOgtin to study itaolf o'b.jeativaly. IVo oanturies 
v7e lava boon an intogral part of ths greatest of all nationa on 
"whioh God '3 sunshine haa ever shone, Whathor w;i have d02i-9 oar part 
or noT, whor.hor wa have ?Llved up to the fullest rasaaare of roapons- 
i>)i?.ity and aohiavements, in not nearly so important a quaation as 
what influenoe wo will have in the future. We have forraed an or- 
ganisation aa long and "broad as -^'aoriaa; for in all parta of our 
groat domain uwrnbo ra of orir fa^nily laay "00 found. This orgainza- 
tlon, as I understand it, has for its oljjoot anything cind every- 
thing that v/orlra for good. 

First, and v^iry natiurally, wa n.x9 asking- the qaestion: 
?Jho ars wa? Three years ago that waa the main question before our 
Bieetinj^c. '■'«'ho are v/e? Where did wo ooino from? What are the re- 
lations betv/een uo? was the one <iaestion uppermost at the meet- 
ing. Very naturally it is a question that will oooapy a great 
deal of the time of this our eeoond Triennial Reunion. I trust 
and hop.il !■; "rill b^ continued to 1)6 asked until we have determined 
the relation of cUfforent morabers of the Haworth fajnily, and until 
v/3 xjut in the fo^ra of a xjortnanont record, thla early history, this 
gsnoalogy, not only of our family in .'\1a9rioa, bat of the satae fam- 
ily in Jngland. Thia will r3q.uiro a great deal of preparation, of 
toil, and skill, and erudition, and a little money, ond much char- 
ity; for mlataksB -will be made by all of us. But I hhm we raay 
ke©p on T;3orkiiag at it until the task is finetlly aoaowplished. 

isaxt of iaportsuioa, aa it appeals to rae individually, is 
the qaestion of our I'utury. Oar past is gone and aannot be ro- 
oalled. i?or my part I mn not ashamed of it. I am proud of the 
distinotioa of Ijeing a raeraber of a family great in num'bsr vjhioh 
has done no small part in making Aiaeriaj^ what it is. I am proud 
of the diatinotion of 'bej.ng a mam bar of a family that has alv/ays 
been in the very front ranks, v7ho has always "been willing to $0 
out into tho ank520'«i.'n vdlderness to tho Wast and oonquer it and 
make it inhabitable for the groat Aaaricaa people. This apparently 
has been one of the prominent aharaoter latios of our forefathers. 
It took nerve Eind courage to orossj the mountains into Kentuolcy, 
TennesBee ■o.nd. Ohio in the dnjB when we firot canio over. It took 
rausolv^ and energy, and datBrmia^ition to live and cjonquer in the 
vaa-j RtreJioh of wilderneas reaohiug froai the Galf to the Grrea!; 
lakefl, fivmri;ii.ng with rayriads of hosiiile Indiaiia. But Americans did 
that then, and oar foi-efatharss did tholr full share, and I am proud 
to aay it, to their everlasting aredit. They helped to make the 
nation, they oonquered their enemy, they helped produce the great 
oiv'iliaation i)i the iiistiiasippi Yalley, they planted the soiiool- 
house aiid trie vshuroh» and did their ahare tovKnrds building the 
oitiasj and the great oiviliisation of thici vaet oountry. 

I say 1 am proud tc bo able to trace ray lineage back to 
th-at pioneer founder of the Ha\-\'orth family in America. But along 
Y-dth this coKias a groat oonoa:;n for the futiira. If our forefath- 
ers did their duty under the oiroumstanoes unaier whioh they lived, 
the question presented to my mind is: Will we do oar duty for the

A.SSOGIATIOK OF AlffiRlOA . 



In sketGhing some raminisoenoes of the Kawoi'th family, I 
shall Gonfine mysalf to tlie line of my fatlier's family. My fatli- 
©r's m.m@ was Eioliard, and his father's name was George, who was 
■born in Frsderick County, Yirginia, whera li© was marriod to Susanna 
Dillion and where one or tv/o of his oldest children were born. 
Later he moved to ilorth Oarolina, bsogua© acfiUtiinted Vi/^ith Daniel 
Boone and, with his brother Jarno^, acoorapanied Boone on his second 
trip into xCentacicy. lie retarnad tu ifortli Carolina, xrsna x:hiGa 
place he later moved to Green County, Tennessee, where isij father, 
Richard, vma born. From here he moved- to Olinton County, Ohio, in 
1803, talcing my father with him, who ?/as then ten year,s old, having 
been born in 1793. He had ten children, eight sons and two daugh- 
ters, all of whom except tvio emigrated westward from Ohio, settling 
in eastex-n Illinois, or western Indiana. 

The first I aver inew of grandfather George Haworth T/as a- 
bout 13S0, when I was four years old. VJa heard some noise, and 
looking out saw a man driving a yo.'lce of oxen hitched to a sled and 
an old man sitting on the sled who I learned was Grandfather Ha- 
worth. My father was sick at the tiioe. After awhile I heard some- 
thing going on in the room, I looked in and saw grandfather "bowed 
at the bed father was lying on, aji(i praying for him. It made a 
deep impression on lay mind that has never been erased. 

The next laemory I have of him is at the home liis csons fixed 
for hin on Uncle Dillion Haworth's place, 'fwo log cabins were built 
neo.r each other. He had a large ai'iaed eii.air he alwayo vsat in. He 
tooic much delight in seeing and conversing with his grandchildren. 
He dxod near his 86th year^ retaining his mental faculties well tintil 
near tiie last. After his daath, step grandmother, (for she was his 
second ;vife ) lived in the same cabin house 'with her daughter, Hebeoca 
Vanhorn, and her niece, iviina Bucl'insr, until she was past ninety years 
old, becaffie likQ a child, appeared to iznow nothing more than a six 
inontiiG child, tuiO. passed away without any apparent sioicaess. 

% father, Richard Haworth, omigratad from Ohio in 1820 and 
settled in what afterwards was Vermillion County, Indiana, j.'his Yi&s 
before the state line was located between Indiana and Illinois in 
■uhat country. He supposed the rtabash Eiver would be the line there, 
as it ?ifas 'farther south, and settled in ?/hat he thoiight to be Illin- 
ois, Later, when the line was run, it passed through his farm, leav- 
ing' his house and about one -third of the farai on the India.na side. 
Ilia cousin, Jonathan Haworth, moved from Ohio With him, and later his 
father George Kaworth, my grandfather, and his two youjigest sons, 
Samuel and 'Dillion, and another son, John, moved out from Ohio also. 
Still later, three more ferothers of ray father caifle out froni Ohio, 
Williaia, James ana weorge, ana sottisd in illinois, 

James laid off the town of Danville, and George the to'«n of 
G-eorgoto\iyn, 

My father's oldest brother, Hahlon, remained in Ohio, One 
of hisasns, George D, Haworth, became a prominent citizen of Clinton 
County, was often elected to a county office, but is perhaps best 
knovm as the father of James M, Haworth, \vho l&ter gained such dis- 
tinction as Agent, Superintendent and inspector in the Indian oervice 
of our government.

father also had two sisters, Mary and Sarah. Mars' mar-

finally died there. Sarah married 'ihoiaas iteese, and later moved to 
Vermillion County, Illinois.

During- the three-year interval betf^'een the Flainfield meet- 
ing and tae Kansas City meeting, Miss ijmB, ilewiin of Slainfield, 
Indiana, came into possesBion cf copies of two letters written by 
G-sorp;e the tai^-ranfc to his mother in England, ono bearing date the 
geth^of 8th month, 1699, and one ISth of 5th month, 1701. Iheee seem 
to be the firEt lattexc; h5 vsrote houie after landing in ivmerica. They 
are exceodingly interesting in many ways, and particularly to the 
Family at this tiite. It will be noted that the paper written 'oj 
Caleb Hav/or-ch, of aigland, read at the Plainfield meeting by Richard 
M. Haworth of Liberty, Indiana, to a considerable extent draws in- 
formation from these tvro letters of Geoi-ge the Bmigrant.

I>ear Motli©r:- After lay dear love to thee and to mj Brother 
and sisters, and to all of my relation and well wishers, these some 
to let you icnow that I am well at present, hoping these few lines may 

find you all in good health also. I have had ib^^ health reasonably 
ever since 1 came into the c.©i\ntry, hut at first "being a little vifeai£- 

ly I was with James ilaworth, and then I hired myself for a year and 
I had about lOL wages in the year; and since I was free to worl: hy 
the piaoe or by the day, 2s, 6d. a day, and victuals, and in harvest 
if we taice our wiri: we get Ss, 6d. a da^. So if any of ciy relation 
have any Kiind to oomo to this country I think; it is a good one, and 
that they may do well, but be sure to come free. But if you cqme sqs- 
vants they must be sold for four or five years work hard, so be sure 
to come free, and bring; such things as will suit plantation work, as 
horse chains and plough gears, and all things suitable to vrnxk with, 
as plough irons and things for selling. 

Bring store of goods, clothes and good surge and beddings of 
all kinds with good store of sillc to sew withall, and good bed tick- 
ing and good light hats and iron pots. 

iknd as for the land, there is both good and bad, both hills 
and also vales, and the common products of the land are v/heat, Hye, 
Barley, Oats, Beans, Peas, Buc/cwhaat , Indian Corn, Apples, Older, 
Peaches and Cherries; and cattle and horses there are plenty, and 
good all over the country as far as I know, i'here are fishes and 
fowls in plenty, and this last winter there was a great sno?/, and 
some got store of deer, Eight or a'en in a we&fc's tirae, and what var- 
mints we have, as .■■/Gives, I have seen some, but they have not hurt me, 

though I have been near them; there are a few Panthers, and Bears, btt 
they hurt nobody as I know of and land is dearer than it was when I 
just came. 'I'here are sevei"al sorts of grapes, strawberries. Mulber- 
ries, VJliimberries, but they grow upon stalke three or four feet high. 

jLiiaere are many sorts of v^'ood, as Black, Hed, and i/liite Oaks, 
and many other sorts, as the Ohestnut and jj'alnut. We have Turkey 
wild in the Voods, Pheasants, Partridges, vdth raany other sorts of 
birds of divers colors and strange colors and notes; and thus much 
for the coiuitry and its products. This is to let you understand that 
I went ashore at a place o^.ll©d "Hurbells", and triere found say sister. 
She hath four children, two «ons and two daughters, John, James, Mary 
and Sarah, and there I stayed about a week, and then my Brother came 
along with me to Philadelphia, and sines then, I have not seen them, 
though ihey are in good health when 1 last heard from thei]j, and then 
came into the country of Bucks, where my cousin James Haworth dwells, 
and dwelleth near to him, being about 250 miles from my sister. 

Joines Haworth and his v/ife are well and hath one daughter. I 
have sent one letter and something in another. I heard nothing from 
you, but I desire you in love to hear from you as soon as possibly you 
can and if any of you come, I desire to you to ser^i me word before 
hand. Direct your letters for me to be left at Phineas Pembertons, in 
the county of Bucks, and so remain, 

Your loving Brother,

May was then the Srd month. 

Judge J. H. Henderson gave a valuable paper, "Advantage of 
Family History." 



TUB iiDVAHTAGBS 05* FAMILY 



By Judge J. H. Henderson, Indianola, la. 

From the beginning the genealogy of a family or tribe has ev- 
er been of interest, and records are everywhere preserved, in great- 
er or less degree, of the succession in families. 

In the BooJi of Books we find the genealogy of the Patriarchs 
fully set forth, and in complete detail, the line of descent of the 
Messiah is given, fulfilling all prophecy and ©xemj^lifying the in- 
spiration of the word. 

By the accuracy of the lineage as traced in th© annals, titles 
and croivns have been received and retained, estates administered and 
inheritances established, and the lustre, honor and dignity of great 
achievements and heroic deeds and names, have been preserved and 
cherished in long lines of family history, positions and station giv- 
en and accorded to the descendants of an honorable and worthy head. 

In older nations, mth long settled laws, usages and customs, 
innovations are rarely found, the keeping and preservation of fami- 
ly records are necessary from material a.nd tangible reasons. The 
laws of descent, the devolution of property, titles and interests are 
vested and secured all from a correct and authenticated genealogical 
history. 

In these older countries it is not so much of sentiment as it 
is of necessity that one's lineage is so easily and mora accurately 
traced. 

We of the new world have not the incentives to iceep and trace 
family history, Bo long life of historic events, succeeding each 
other, calls for the record. 

Our system of settling estates, the right of alienation, the 
personal control of property by each individual, ^oes not require 
mora than the family record of two or three generations, and general- 
ly there are those living who iaiow of the persons and can by wort 
and speech give the required proof of the family and the rightful in- 
heritors. 

The new world was peopled largely by those who were without 
wealth, station or title, who came to found a new life, a new gener- 
ation, begin a new genealogy. It was not only the beginning of a nev/ 
nation but the beginning of a neiv family name with no history but 
that which was yet to be made and thereafter written. 

\Vith us, to trace one's lineage is more of sentiment than of 
material benefits, though the years have eome and gone until nov/ the 
family record is becoming valuable in material and property interests 
and as the country grows older the value becomes the more and the ne- 
cessity more urgent. 

It is yet largely of sentiment and it is worthy to foster and 
increase the power of that sentiment. In the busy days of a busy 
life but three years ago I was appointed a delegate from the Iowa As- 
sociation to Plainf ield , was unable to attend largely because I know 
nothing of the family, cared but little for its history and oouiai see 

38. • 



/o 



no practical good resulting from it and for these reasons probably, 
made no effort to arrange basiness affairs tlaat I might be present. 
Indeed I i^new m^r grandfather, but beyond him icnew nothing save a tra- 
dition or legend that there was at one time a nomad from somewhere in 
England who landed on these shores and was christened ¥/ith the title 
of "G-eori^e the iimigrant," 

The pressure of some of our people, the meeting in our annual 
gathering, a little aiore information arroused an interest, while ex- 
pecting no material benefits, yet experiencing gratification and pleas- 
ure in knowing and tracing our ooramon family history and genealogy. 
Doubtless some of you have experienced similar feelings and results. 

¥/hat more pleasant than one to be able to trace his blood to 
the sober, stoical Faritan, or the poacefal, just and pure minded 
(Quaker, or the high minded and noble spirited Cayalier, and from thorn 
the heroic deeds of valor in combating the element s, subduing: nature, 
resisting savages, in securing independence, in oponirg up homes, 
building the nation and laying the foundations strong, xidde and deep 
for the government which affords all such complete protection. 

Yife attempt to record that history, and t'ae families are few 
indeed where there is a succession of generations when in each may 
be found the strong and public characters which are worthy of special 
record in the amaals of the country and the times. 

In statecraft we may mention the Adams, the Salisburys, the 
Fessendens and possibly a few others. In military achiovements you 
can scarcely give the name of a family oontinuing the one generation 
beyond. 

In the ministry, the arts and sciences, it regaires a search 
of the library to iaiow of a family distinguished for a series of gen- 
erations. 

Due to ourinstitutions and eoonoc^'- great men's sons do not 
inherit great men's positions, they can only be bad by earning and 
achieving them by personal labor and ability. The way is open to all, 
the goal within the reach of him who strives and merits it and thus 
the great of one generation is succeeded by the children of another 
family and name, and hence it is not within the claim of any one fam- 
ily of a common ancestor and connected by the ties of the same blood, 
to herald forth a lineage resplendent with siiooessions of illustrious 
men in the councils of state, or in the martial field. 

■i?hile this may be true, the family tree of most of the great 
faxiiilles will give forth the fruit of good citiaanship, upright char- 
acters, and worliers sicilled and trustworthy in the ordinary wali:,g and 
callings of life. 

Who are the nation builders? Flhenoe comes the power given to 
and exercised by a great nation? iJhere is the source from which is 
drawn the vitalizing force that supports, sustains and maintains that 
power? The halls of Congress are filled with something more than 
four himdred chosen and selected men, from all sections of the great 
commonwealth, many wise, strong and great, yet powerless to do or con- 
sunmiaxe a single thing within their domain, without the great constit- 
uency of over 75,000,000 approving and aoxing. 

Appoint and commission the generals and admirals, men of cour- 
age, skill and integrity, and yet who are more powerless than they, 
were it not for the rank: and file following and acooinplishing. 

The nation builders are the sturdy, honest, industrious man, 
with the love of home and family deep seated and permanent in his 
heart. The power of a great nation lies in the character and strength

of its citizens sticL not alone in itschosen leaders, and. the source of

Here taxid there will be found the name of on© distinguished as 
a statesman, warrior, phils.nthropist of financier, his histoiy will be 
written, monuments an-i etatute^ erected to hxe« memory . The actual 
real -doing history will be that of the great number wlio were so aptly 
termed by President Lincoln, the plain people. 

In the early days, to leave the sea ooast, cross the mountains 
and begin life in the timber in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee and lay 
the foundations, evinced as wiueh courage and manhood as to lead the 
battallions at -/aterlco or Bedorna. To follow the western sun to the 
plains of Illinois and Iowa and there build the groat coMaonwealths 
now so prosperous, required ability and patriotism equal to that of 
Webster or Clay. To open up Kansas and lebraska as free states re- 
quired the courage and fidelity equal to Valley ij'orga and Yoriitown. 

We read with pleasure and profit lives of emnent y:^ii, why not 
with even greater i)leasurs and more profit preserve and read the his- 
tory of the actual workers anci. doers. It is iiore than a sentiment to 
know one's family history. It is imowledge obtained, useful, incent- 
ive to "sTork, instr^ictive in work, aids aocomplishment oy «irork. 

Wq are here today the few representatives of a great family, 
widely scattered and diffused tlhroughout this land, all tracing by ac- 
curate and well established proofs a continuous unbroken chain to one 
Lian - Qoorgo tho irtoigrant, ovor a poriod of mors than t-«70 conturios on 
Americazi soil. 

In all the history of all these jrears I do not kno¥/ of one 
great historical character, either as statesman, warrior. Divine or 
financier, I know of no statute erected to any one of the rae-©, and 
yet I do know of a history v/orthy of eraulation and of v/hioh we may 
well be proud, a history covering more than SOO years. It tells of 
the struggles in poverty, the acquisition of a oompatenoy and in many 
instances of large estates. It is largely of pioneer work, ths lev- 
eling of the forest, the upturning of the sod of the virgin prairies 
of the 7/eat, the building- of the new home, establishing home rule and 
civil government, and building and erecting for the future. 

My information is not of the entire sijambership and. with no in- 
tention to disps-rage any and no sinister purpose iifiplied frora any o- 
mission, there are at least three great commonv/ealths in which The Ha- 
worth had an important part in baildlng. Ohio, Illinois and Iowa each 
have been enriched by the labors, counsel and levol hoadedness of the 
descendants of the "Emigrant." 

Let no one from the pines and sand dunes of IJorth Carolina or 
the wooded and watered lands of famed 'j'ennosaee, or the empire of na- 
tional wealth and productive fields on whose western border ?/e now 
meet or of the bounteous land where the first armed conflict and shed- 
din*^- of blood was had in the early struggle for universal freedom and 
now famed as the Sun Flower state, nor even those from the silvered 
lands crovmed with the mighty peaks of the liockies or stretching out 
further west and bathing on the shores of the Pacific, rise and say 
too much distinction is here given to those in the three great common- 
wealthB.

To auoh an one an easy answer is giyon, they are entitled to 
the distinction and then you must rememloor tli8.t the speaker liimsolf 
is of this branoli and from one of the stats,s namod, and at loast 
claims some licenoe, poetic licenoB if you please, in these statements. 
But whether they are entitled to any more distinction than others, 
they at least serve in illustrating the thought and fact I am endeav- 
oring to shovtf, namely, that our people have been and are noY/ important 
factors in the development of the nation, in its laws, customs and ma- 
terial interests. 

We are a family of wage worliers and bread v/inners. Have been 
taught by precept and example the nobility of labor and of such good 
citiaenship comes, and from such the great states are made, 

lo trace of disloyalty can be found, no oppressive greed or av- 
arice mars and not a scintilla of infidelity has ever permeated the 
tribe. 

Humble and unostentatious, yet with deep and fervent convic- 
tions have we lived, content with the labors and a living and with in- 
apii'xiig hope for the future. 

ifith what family can be found more industrious, even patient 
and plodding people, v;ho slowly but surely brought the wilderness 
from its natural state to the productive farm and the beautiful home, 
who were more loyal to good government and good morals, more inter- 
ested in schools and churches, more law abiding: and God fearing. 

The beginning of Ohio found the Haworth, Indiana felt the im- 
pulse of his prevsence, Illinois began its growth with his advent and 
Iowa began to bloom and bear fruitage with his coming and wherever he 
has gone, all that is good and right was founded, supported and main- 
tained by him. 

1 looic with interest at the chart showing the genealogy of the 
branch of the family to x'/hich I belong and v/ith but little less the 
other branches, and as I read the naaes I note that there must be a 
stron,g religious sentiment as so many of the Bible names are given, 
both men and women, of the large families and am impressed in the be- 
lief that in the long list all of us may recall many facts and inci- 
dents treasured up in sacred memory. 

It is with pleasure that I recall the life of my old Quaker 
Grandfather, the pioneer settler of the prairies of Iowa, coming be- 
fore its admission as a state, opening up the farm,, building the log 
cabin in a grove, near to a spring and alongside of the stream, o- 
pened his home and invited his neighbors to come on the Holy day and 
worship the God of his Fathers in simplicity and truth, starting the 
public school, taking a part in all the civic duties, the first com- 
missioner of the organizing Board of the County and for years serving 
faithfully and efficiently as a member of tho Board of Supervisors, 
always lending a helping hand in every good work, observing and obey- 
ing every law of God and man, save one law of which he never obeyed 
but constantly violated. j:;ver swift in the violation of that law re- 
gardless of eonseciuences. He hated slavery. He would not assist the 
Slave holder. He would not recognize the fugitive slave law, much 
less be a party to its enforcement. The fleeing slave could stay in 
his barn, sheltered under his hay and be fed, and v/ith the shades of 
night guided by the Horth star, he would send his wagon and team with 
a careful driver and talie the negro to the next underground railroad 
station on the way to Canada and freedom.

His soul was tried and troubled over the appeal to arms, wMoh 
hs could not "bear and which he couid not fully approve, yst closed 
his syas to the woe and atrocitias of war and hoped thaX it was no 
mora than the expiation of tho crimes committed on tha bondsmen in 
the centuries of his oppression. During these years ot strife he sup- 
ported the Union, aided the wives and children, the widows and orphans 
of that mighty struggle, believing that when the expiation had been 
made, the shacicles v/ould be strucic off, the millions of bondJBen ^-iven 
freedom and the curse of slavery be removed, which he in some measure 
felt uulpable as one of the citizens of this nation. He lived to see 
his faith in the right consummated, to icnow and feel tmt no longer 
could bondage of any portion of the human family legally exist, and 
the laws he protested against and would not obey, eliminated from the 
statute booics and his study, steady and uncompromising defiance of the 
law justified and approved, 

This legacy is given me and myehildren and down the line of 
succeeding generations. Is not such a record worthy of pride and em- 
ulation as that of the more heroic from the hiuaan view, i^^ithout am- 
bition of worldly honor or profit, without desire to appear and be 
followed as leader in a great cause, he modestly and unostentatiously 
porformed his duty as he saw it, conscientiously until the end and 
ripe in years^ his work well done, with the love, veneration and grat- 
itude of all his family, friends and neighbors passed peacefully to 
his reward. 

This is but a single illustration of the many which you and I 
and others of our great family might txnithfully give , not only those 
of us novf liljing, but in every one of the generations during our long 
history and may these examples be but precursors of the manj^ yet to 
follow in the future history of out family, 

I cannot but feel in the presence of this record that the more 
fully we know of it the greater incentive will exist to emulate the 
examples, v/ith us, our children and our children's children. 

The part taken in the development of the resources of the na- 
tion should be preserved, the faithfulness in all the civic duties 
be recorded, and labors in aid of manii:ind and in promoting the moral 
and intellectual advancement of all the people,' be entered in the an- 
nals. The propogation of the laws and influence of peace and the 
spreading of the Gospel to every creature should enrich the pages of 
history. 

The family maintains its early characteristic of the pioneer. 
As the now torritorjr of Ohio invited the early fathers, the mountains 
vales and streams of Kentucky and Tennessee presented attractions not 
to b© resifjtsd, the boundless prairie of Illinois and Iowa captivated 
and led the pioneer of our family to settle and enjoy the fruits of 
the wonderful productive soil, so now the newer territories, tho 
richness of the plains and mountains and even to the western coast, 
becoming rich and more richer, enlianced by the opening commerce with 
the Orient, are drawing from our number much of the yoimg blood. The 
sturdy, honest, liberty loving and law abiding men and with them the 
hopeful, ever helping, virtuous and 'iod loving young woman, there to 
erect tho altar of the home, build the commujiity and state in the type 
and with the strength of their fathers and perpetuate the honorable 
najiio and f irae of the family to which they belong. Already are we 
scattered from Ocean to Ocean, the Lakes to the Gulf, found in every 
honorable calling and profession in life, meeting with the success 
only due to the worth;).' and conscientious. The history of that which 
has been, which is, and which will be, of our family v/ill be valua- 
ble, so widely scattered, most engaged in the common, plain duties of

life, and the history will not be written by any one person nor even by a score. 

The one important duty of this Association and all of the a^^xilia^y 
Associations is to write and record that history, not only the names and par- 
ticular branch of the family tree with dates of marriages, births and deaths, 
which are all important, but the deeds done and results accomplished, in ts^ 
country the Haworth settlement has been knovm for more than a half century and 
taiow for what? Successful farmers and tradesmen, honest and upright in all 
dealings, public spirited and enterprising, ever conservative and economical 
with good school and academy, the meeting house and all members and communi- 
cants with the society there established. Ever for law and order and on elec- 
tion days found, voting right on the moral side of all questions and ever pro- 
moting sobriety and temperance in all things. 

The historj' of mj/ country is not complete without the history of 
that settlement nor of the state without it and those of the other settlements 
in our proud state, nor can it be of the nation without the record of all the 
settlements from the shores of the Eastern to that of the VJestem bordi-er of the 
continent. 

In the writing of this histoid we are commissioned and in the perform- 
ance of that duty comes the recognition and reward. It is due to us, due to 
our children and valuable to the state. In its annals will be found encourage- 
ment, incentives to maintain family honor and integrity and to renewed zeal and 
fidelity in the discMrge of every duty and trust, private and public. 

To the worte let us dedicate ourselves and continue the beginning made, 
on a larger and more perfect scale and by action here and elsewhere invite the 
co-operation of all in this labor and faithfully done, the Haworth fandly may 
well claim an exalted place in the families of our beloved country. 

John Haworth reported the coming of the photographer to take a pict-

AN HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE TEMESSEE BRAHCH OP HAWORTH FAMILY 
By Mahlon Haworth, Maryville, Tennessee. 

On the program for the Triennial Meeting of the Haworth Association 
of America, my name appears for a response to the address of welcome, i re-

ion, being unavoidably detained at home, and will offer instead a paper, giv- 
ing a brief history of our branch of the family in Tennessee. 

My grandfather, Richard, a son of James, the fourth son of George 
the Emigrant, was bora in North Carolina in the year 1745, and removed with his 
family across the mountains to that section of North Carolina which afterward 
became the state of Tennessee. This was about the year 1781 or 1782, at a time 
when there was much hostitlity between the Indians and the white people on acc- 
ount of the white people taking up the land claimed by the savages. 

Grandfather settled on the Holston river and bought and entered a 
large bod*? of very fertile river bottom land. Two other families came with n^r 
grandfather and settled within four miles of each other. My recollection of 
my father's statement is that these families were members of the friends' 
Church, and on that account they were all unmolested by the Indians, while oth- 
ers who came to this section afterwards were subjected to torture and massacre. 
I^ grandfather married Ann Dillen, and there were bom to the union eleven chil- 
dren, named as follows: 

Susanna, William, James, Mary, Sarah, John, Charity, Richard, Joel, 
Jonathan and David. The latter two were twins and David was my father. Mary 
died without issue, Richard and Jonathan died in Tennessee. Richard left three 
sons, and they with their mother removed to Indiana. Jonathan left two chil- 
dren who removed with their mother to south Carolina. James, Joel and Charity 
removed to Indiana with their families. John removed to Ridge Farm, 111., with 
his family. Susanna married Joel Wright and removed to Ohio, William and David 
lived to "a ripe old age and died in Tennessee. Most of William's descendants 
removed to the west, some to Illinois, and others to Missouri. 

My father was bom in the year 1789 and married Susanna Lewis Bales 
and to them were bom ei^t children, named as follows: 

Pleasant, Richard, Jonathan, S«rah, Ann, David, Wm. Lewis, Elizabeth 
and Malon, three of whom are living. The others died in Tennessee. Most of 
their descendants are living on the old homestead.

m^ father purchased the interest of most of his brothers in the old 
homestead, also other adjoining lands and wmed an estate of twenty-two hund- 
red acres which he subdivided and deed to his children. Some of the sixth 
generation, beginning' with n^ grandfather are still occupying these lands. I 
was bom in the year 1840 and am the youngest of iny father's family, i mar- 
ried Sarah s. Lee, of Priendsville, Tennessee, and to us were bom eight chil- 
dren, six of whom are now living, named as follows!, 

Wayne L. , located at Knoxville, Tennessee. 

William 0., located at Wichita, Kansas. 

Samuel L., located at Central City, Hebraslca. 

Ida Haworth Hume, located at ITewton, Mississippi. 

D. Riley, located at Huron, S. Dakota. 

Annie Eawcrth Mcllurray, located on the Tennessee Hiver, near Chil- 

howee Mts. 

My children all belong to Friends* Church. 

Not having yet been permitted to give encouragement to the meetings 
with n^ presence, I waij-t to encourage the movement all i possibly can withmy 
words. I believe the Haworth family has an interesting history^' and whenever 
such a compilation of facts and figures can be secured to warrant it, i hope 
to see its genealogy in book form, l want to encourage every member of this 
interesting family, first to "press forward toward the mark of the prize of 
the high calling," and then toward thehigh and honorable achievements in the 
affairs of the world. 

The Haworths, as a rule, are possessed of strong minds, good Judgment, 
sound reasoning, honest convictions and conscientious scruples. The l-iave the 
qualities and qualifications of honest and honorable citizenship, and the stand- 
ing of the fatitLly as a whole, its past, its present, and the prospects for its 
future, is not to be ashamed of. Two of n^ brothers, Richard and Jonathan, were 
in the Civil War, Jonathan was an officer in the First Toiuiessee (u. S- Cavalry) 
coimanded by Col. Brovmiow, a son of RirsGn Brownlow. 

Jly oldest brother and n^rself were exempt from the Confederate Atb^ on 
aj3coiint of being members of Friends' Church. 

A part of this brief history is written from rrsw^ry as told to me "by 
my father many years ago. I suppose the number of n^ generation will be snail 
at this meeting, only three living in Tennessee. 

I want to close my paper with best wishes for all.

Where the fig, palm and olive tree 
Recall the scenes of history old 
And the land of Palestine. 

This picturesque land as of spring begun- 

Is clothed in evergreen hue, 

With perfumes rare and lilies fair. 

Disclose G-od's purpose tme. 

Y/here the native poppy, with gold of the sun. 

Sheds beauty everywhere. 

By this beauteous shore, in majestic flow, 

Swells Pacific's restless tide. 

With its Golden Gate and the ships that wait. 

To sail on its deep waters wide; 

And we watch the vessels that outward go. 

As we ponder - "What their fate." 

Prom over the mountain and westland afar, 

We come with love greetings today. 

To offer our mite, and in tribute unite. 

An anc est rial homage we pay, 

To the tenets of V/orth that time cannot mar, 

A nan® we honor aright. 

Across the Atlantic from British ban 
Seeking freedom to worship God, 
Forsaking all at stem duties call, 
He sought the new found sod: 
To plant therein high truths to man. 
With peace and love to all. 

Upon the true heart's altar lain, 

The incense of our love we give; 

Immortal sires; beyond our ken - 

On treasured page your deeds sliall live. 

While advocates of tmth imiintain; 

The principles of Peim. . 

Dear kindred souls; ; earth' s labor done 
Life's golden g-ate ye have passed through; 
Yifhom we venerate, may v;e emulate. 
By example and precept true. 
Encumbent on us is the work begun 
Heirs of a high estate. 

Though scattered wide o'er the woifl's domain. 

To various tasks assigned: 

Prom near and far we gather here. 

As the kindred chain our hearts doth bind. 

In unison sweet - 'ere the sad refrain. 

Calls again the parting tear. 

Mariners all - in quest of a shore. 

Like ships seeking a foreign land; 

We meet with cheer - when skies are fair 

To be lest to view 'ere we reach the strand. 

From the land we seek, we shall wander no more. 

But anchor in safety there.

Beyond the mountains of toil and strife, 

Is a radiant evergreen clime 

Whose ocean tides move in God's infinite love - 

And the plan of existence divine. 

All sails shall te furled in the "waters of life,"- 

Blest "reunion" above. 

A letter was read from the stenographic report of the Plainfield 
meeting, read before that meeting by Hichard Ivi. Haworth, Litertj^ Indiana, 
pages 25-26-27 of this volume. Following this President W. P. Haworth made 
some reraaifes on pronunciation of the name "Haworth," which brought up quite 
a discussion by the audience. It was shown, as was also done at the Plain- 
field meeting, that according to the origin of the name and common usage in 
Bngland the proper pronunciation is to sound the first sylable Haw - as in 
Hawthorne. 

The following interesting letters, written by Charles Chasmer Ha- 
worth and vi'ifo, Orpha Ruth Hull Haworth, missionaries to Cuba under the di- 
rection of the "American Board of Foreign Missions of Friends' Church," were 
read by Mrs. W. P. Haworth. 



Holguin, Cuba, iug. 6th, 1902. 

Dear Haworth Cousins, In Reunion Assembled in Kansas City, Mos., U. S. A., 
Aug. 26 to 27, 1902. 

Prom this lovely land we greet you. I lay down the Spanish diction- 
ary with which help I am reading our local nev/spaper, and take up my pen to 
address you in a language better understood by us all. 

Last evening our mission party, of four, cinsisting of n^ wife, babe 
our teacher and ngrself climbed to the top of Holquin's mountain. It was a 
three hours' journey, so you will know it is quite an eminence, though not 
nearly so large as many of our American mountains. 

Prora its summit we could see fifteen or twenty miles in every di- 
rection to where our vision was limited by rising nrountains, and of the thous- 
ands of fertile acres within reach of the eye, I suppose not one in one hun- 
dred was cultivated. 

Eastern Cuba, with its would-be fertile fields, beautiful hills and 
valleys, and delightful climate is as undeveloped as was the "Wild West" of 
the United states a few years ago. True there is quite a large population 
living here, but they are largely supported by the spontaneous productions of 
the country, and ten times as many people might be easily sustained. 

The possibilities before Cuba are simply immense. 

If ai^ of the Haworth family feel cramped in the United States let 
them come to Cuba. I believe the opening good for one who has enough money 
to get here, and then buy a few acres of land. 

I went to the Canadian Colony, four miles in the country, two weeks 
ago and saw htindreds of acres of grass almost as high as a horse's back with 
no cattle tc eat it; and found no land in cultivation until arriving at the 
colony. 

SO much for the material condition of the country. The spiritual is 
the same - one vast undeveloped wilderness. The Catholic Church does little or 
no teaching, and the people are identified with it only to get the feasts and 
beautiful ceremonies, rather than in true, upright lives.

Last Sunday we opened ovar first sm-xoLay school and seventeen Cul-aas 
were in attendanoe. This was the result of a single annoxmceraent and serves 
to show what may he dona when we shall have learned the languafce and hecome a- 
hle to lahor with and speafc directly to this i^eople. We are enjoying the coxm- 
try very nnich and continue in good health. Our b&he, whom we have named, Huth 
Esther, has continually g; rown and developed since coining to the island; and al- 
though we have plazits here that live from the air alone it is apparent that 
nature is arranging some other method more substsintial for her suhsistance as 
she has recently hecome the proud possessor of two teeth, 

While we are engaged in the Lord's worfe and aspect to so continue, 
yet we would be glad to see some Haworths among the numerous American colonists 
coming to this island; and believe in this way they ca,n serve the Lord and get 
for themselves comfortable homes in this "Pearl of the Antilles." Sruly, 

Charles G. and Orpha Haworth. 



The Committee on Finance reported that Association badges were pre- 
pared v/hich would be sold at ten cents each, and they further recofamended that 
an assessment be itewie of ten cents each for women, and twenty-five cents each 
for men. 

The Committee on Permanent Organization, through its chaiman. Judge 
John H. Henderson, reported a Constitution and By-Laws, which were read and a- 
dopted. (Published at back of this volume.) 

Milton Hanson, of &rey, Indiana, was elected Historian. 

By motion, Calvin Haworth, of Indlanola, Iowa, and John T- Haworth, 
of ...uaker, Indiana, were elected the Association members of the Executive Ccra- 
mittee, as per Article Til of the Constitution. 

It was mov©d and seconded that John Haworth, Miss Cera Haworth, and W 
Pi Haworth act as a CouBnittee on Photographs. Adjourned till Thursday, 9 A. M. 



THURSDAY - AUG. 28, 9 A, M. 

The Association met pursuant to adjcumment. The meeting was opened 
bv sinfrinft, "Load lie. Saviour." Prayer vkis offered by different rasmbers, fol- 
lowed by a love feast, in which many bore witness to the love and keeping power 
of Ood. 

The Minutes of previous sessions v/ere read, corrected and adopted. 

The following; resolution offered by judge J. H. Henderson was adopted: 

Resolved; That we request our President, W, P. Hawortb, so far as he may 
be able, to visit the State Associations at their annual 7aeetin£?s and to visit 
the states and territories where none are organized, and to perfect an organiza- 
tion auxiliary to this organization, and we recommend that each state and terri- 
tojry provide for and pay his expenses in such work. Yfe believe that the presen- 
tation of the purposes and objects of this Association in this way by him will 
greatly aid, and each state will be duly repaid for all expenses incurred.

An interesting paper was read hy the President, V/. P. Haworth, on the 
"Philosophy of Eu>mii Life." 

THE KlILOSOHiY OF WMAB LIFE 

By W. P. Haworth, Kansas City, Ko. 

As we grow older, we are more prone to look hacl!: into the past. Our 
cost days seem to he the days of long ago. Cur hrightest hours are those wMch 
have long since passed away. 

The sun rests rMst pleasantl7;- on the vanished youthful time. A charm 
gilds the Deginning of life's journey, which we fail to d.iscover at any succeed- 
ing age. In our freedom v;e gird ourselves and walk v/hl the r soever we will. I'o 
the young the glory is all heforo. '.'^o the aged the bri^fehtness fre<iuently seems 
to rest upon the past. Corning down from youth's mountain top, what a glcv/ does 
the young iiaan or maiden "behold on the glittering plains of utanhood and womanhood 
which stretch out before them. 

Descending into the valley of old age the bowed and tottering pilgrim 
often locks wistfully and longingly back to the innocent and happy days of his 
childhood. To his iaind fhs former days wore better than these. 

Most of the old poets have written and sung of a. golden age. But it 
was away in the distant past. Thej have pictured it in the world's beginning, 
in the days when the human race was in its youth. And so every nation }ias had 
its fancied golden age. Poets have sung of its glories. Dreamers have dreamed 
of its charms. A time of peace, and love, and joy, when the earth yielded all 
manner of fruits and flowers anc? all nations lived together in harmony and jaeace. 

And the Bible too tells of a golden sge in the far distant past. The 
3arth stood forth fair and glorious to the eye of its great creator. 

Man liveil. in a sinless and sorrow less world; basking in the unclouded 
suxLshine of his Heavenly Father's love; amid the hallowed bowers of an Eden on 
which no blight or curse had yet fallen. 

Ko storm had yet swept over the landscape, no shadow, no fear nor 
foreboding of coming evil had yet entered the heart of man. 

As our thoughts go back to that blessed time we can scarcely refrain 
from asking bitterly "What is the cause that the former days were better than 
these?" 

But in the text the wise rrsn cautions us that we do not inquire 7'isely 
concerning this. Ihe flower is beautiful when it opens out its glories, rival-

Inc ?5clomon. In tho oarly sprinp- tlnw phan tho tree is olothed in its rich 
inantlo of xwro white blosKoroB. 

The (lay io Ijoautiful when tho momiufi sun floods all nature, and 
earth and air is filled with sonp, 'Ph© yaar is beautiful when the glcora and 
desolation of winter have been e>:chang9d for the now lifts and new Joys of 
spring. Life is Ijeautiful in its early da»-Ji» vfhmi all is innocence and happi- 
ness and Joy. And how ready we are as we survey these pictures of a golden 
ago and ooapare them with what comes af terr?ard, to ask inouimfully, "What is the 
cause that the foraior days wore better than these." But is it so? I'hB tree is 
■beautiful, it in true, when it is covor&d with blossoms s but is it not a rich- 
er, thouph different kind of beauty, when in autuism it is loaded with delicious 
fruit. !;'he roomiiier is beautiful when the rlsinfr sun, bathes strea^n, and flood, 
hill and daile vdth his radiant borats; but is it not another and a hifrher kind 
of beauty vnhen at the close of day, the sun is slowly sinking in the west, like 
a icinfT dyinfr on a ocnch of ,^old, and the fading hues of even light upon the 
whold heavons with a priori' that Eoeras to have coiae down from the Hew Jerusalem, 
The field is beautiful T/hen the fresh ^TQon blades appear like a new creation, 
life cut of death; but it is another and higher order of beauty when, instead 
of the fresh ycune blades you have the rich, eiolden hardest. l;ho sprinf: is 
beautiful with all its stores of hlocrn, and fragraiMjo asid song, 

i?ut is it not a hiph«>r beauty, a saore advanced perfection when the 
hloom of spring has piven place to the golden sheaves and plentiful stores 
of autuian? Life's oponiatT years may bo beautiful, but its close may be glori- 
ous. YOU Tm^ have seen tlie raw recruit, fresh froa^ his couatrj' hen®, setting 
out to Join the m\r in a distant land. His laurels are yet unsullied, ^he 
keen edfje of his sssord has never yet been blunted, no tes never turned oowaid. 
on the field of battle. He goes forth to meet theaaeK^ v/ith unfaltering step 
and fearless heart* 

jjoe him years afterwaird whan he cones horne, after a long service in 
sotne foreign land. His clothes are tatterefi and torn; Ms colors are in rags; 
his stops are feeble and tottering; his brow i© searnofl an« scarjfed; his svwrd 
is brcken, ira seems but the wr^sck, the mere shadow of hirsself. 

But in iTUOh that is tnto and noble and imsalf ish ho is a brs-vor and 
bettor !nan. His oourare has boon tried. ITe ocaes back v?.iiarinf° the laurels of 
vioton% laurels pluckocl from sisany a hard foufjht field, "he tinsel has been 
lost; but tho fine |?xild reiffiiins. 

.\nd 30 it is with the youthful Christian, in the first days of his 
prcfossion, when ho has {?iven his heart to Josus for the first ti>".e ^ill his 
^racoB seem so frosh sml lovely. All his being is filled with ,1cy uuSj,aakablo, 
Christ is so very precious to >ii8 soul. He thiriks he will never a/rain offend 
his blessed nedaeriur or j^rieve the lloly spirit, 

?cr a tine ho seems to tro^id the suTranite of the • selectable ;:cun tains, 
with his eye steadily fixed on the land wMoh is very far off. Years paso on 
the ycun^r professor ftrowc into tho ftp-ad christian. His £^rs.ceo raay not now seem 
80 fresh and boautiful as they did forty cr fifty years ago. His feellnfrs do not 
cHrry hini on with the burst and ocst;:iC" by vsfhich they were first characterized, 
nor do the toarc flov/ so freely now as they did loiig ago when his soul is ravislied 
with the Kocdness of God. 

One tnipht say that in his case the forraor d^o were better than these. 
But you do not .Jud^e wisely conoomlnf^ this 'zsatter. 

His last days are his best days. The blossoms may have faded but you

days have Rone, tut rich clusters of ripened graiaes are hanging from every 
bough. Tie may bear the marks of many a sharp conflict v;ith the great enemy, 
but he stands on the brink of the grave with all his graces fully matured 
ready to enter into the joys of his Lord. 

The old home had a charm which no other place on earth will know. 

The names of father and mother surrounded the young life like some 
heavenly influence, and were sacred as the name of God. 

The old man looks back over the long waste of years to those scenes 
around which his hearts deepest affections and holiest associations cling 
most fondly, and sadly asks what is the cause? 

But it is delusion, they were not really better. If he has lived to 
some purpose in the world; if he has lived to God and not to self; if he has 
lived to do good to his fellow men; if he has made aod's glory the great end 
of his life, these latter days are better than the former; as the fruitage is 
better than the blossom; and the golden htirvest better than the first spring- 
ing of the tender shoot. You would not bring back your childhood again even 
if you could. 

The real and true man looks trustfully forward to the morrow that 
will give him more than he has lost with the passing away of his youth. 

All that is truly good you cannot lose. It abides with you. 

All you have done, all you are now doing for God will abide with you 
forever. 

"When thou wast young thou girdest thyself." Here is a picture eas- 
ily translated and significant of much. 

The act of girding implies preparation for action, and iray be wid- 
ened out to express that most blessed prerogative of youth, the cherishing of 
bright imaginations of its future activity and course. 

The dreams of youth are often laughed at, but if a young man or 
womn be faithful to them, they are the prophecies of the future, and are giv- 
en in order that at the opening of the flower, nature may put forth her power 
and so we be able to realize much of our fondest dreams. Only be sure that you 
do not waste that Divine faculty, the freshness of which is granted to you as 
a morning gift, the dew of your youth. See that you do not waste it in antici- 
pations which cling like mist to the low levels of life, but that you lift it 
higher and embrace worthy objects. 

It is good that you should anticipate, that you should live by hope. 
It is good that you should be drawn onwards by bright visions, whether they be 
ever fulfilled or no. 

But there are dangers in the exercise, and dreaming with some takes 
the place of realizing their dreams, and they build for themselves fair fab- 
rics in imagination which they never take one step to accomplish and make real. 

Be not the slaves and fools of your imaginations, but cultivate the 
faculty of hoping largely; for the possibilities of human life are elastic; 
and no man or wonan in their most sanguine, early anticipation, if only these 
be directed to the one real good, has ever exhausted or attained to the possi- 
bilities opened to every soul. 

Again girding one's self implies independent self-reliance and that 
is a gift and stewardship given to the young. We all fancy in our early days

that we aregoing to lauild t(wers that will reach to heaven. 

The past generations have failed 'out ours is full, of "brighter promise. 

We would not carry one shadow from the darkened experience of middle 
life into the roseate tints of the morning. "The vision spLendid will fade away 
into the light of coiffi-non day," soon enough. 

But for the present this self-reliant confidence is one of the Tales- 
sings of your earlier days. Only remember it is dangerous too. 

It may hecomQ want of reverence or presumption and rashness which is 
ruinous. Eememher what a conical head of a college said "Sone of us is infalli- 
ble, not even the youngest." 

Blend modesty with confidence and yet be bouyant and strong, and then 
your self-confidence v/ill not be rashness. 

"Thou wentest v/hither thou wouldst." That is another characteristic 
of youth after it has got beyond the school-boy stage. Your own will tends to 
become your guide. 

At your time of life most other inward guides are weak. 

you have but limited experience. 

Most young persons, have not cultivated largely the habit of patient 
reflection, and thinking twice before acting once. 

It is quite proper that in your earlier days you should live largely 
by impulse. If only there be a coni^cience at work as well as a will, which will 
do instead of the bitter experience which comes to guide those of more mature 
years. 

Again yours is the ago v/hen passion is strong. I speak now especially 
to yovuig men. 

Restraints are removed from many of you. Circjumstances have thrown a 
great many young men away from home. Separated from the purifying influences of 
sisters and of family life, living in solitary lodgings at liberty to spend their 
evenings where they choose, and no one be any the wiser. Ahl many a young man 
has gone wheresoever he would and he willed to go -where he should not. 

There is nothing more daagerous than forming the habit of saying-, "I 
do as I like," however, you cover it over. 

Take this for a fixed principle; that whoever puts the reiis into the 
charge of his own v/ill wholly when ho is young, has prut the reins and the whip 
into the hands which will drive over the precipice. 

My young friend "1 will" is no word for you. There is a far more di- 
vine and better word "1 ought." Have you heard that? Dc you yield to that sov- 
ereign impreative, and say "I must because I ought and, therefore, I will." 

Bow passion to reason, reason to conscience, conscience to G-od - and 
then be as strong in the will and as stiff in the neck as ever you choose; but 
only then. 

Many of the bright visions that dance before the youthful minds must 
fade away. .0 begin, thinkinjr that we are froing to build temples or tuwers that 
shall reach to heaven; but ere long hopes diminish, dreams vanish, limited reali- 
ties take their place, and v;e are willing that some one else take the responsi- 
bilities that we were so eager to assume ourselves at first.

Strenfcth will fade away. "Even the youth shall faint and grow weary, 
aad the youns raen shall utterly fall." 

Physical wealmess and v;eariness, the longing for rest, the conscious- 
ness cf ever narrowed and narrowing powers, will come to you, and if you live to 
be old, you will have to sit and watch the tide of your life eb"b, ebb, ebbing a- 
way moment by moment. 

Self will be wonderfully broken, for there are far stronger forces 
that determine a man's life than his own wishes or will. Wa are like swimmers 
in the surf cf the Indian Ocean, powerless against the battering of the wave 
which pitches us, for all our science, and for all our muscles wheree'r it will. 
Call it environment, call it fate, call it Prcvidence, call it God. There is 
something outside of us stronger than we are. And the man who begins life, think- 
ing. Thus I will, thus 1 command, let my determinations stand instead of all oth- 
er reason, has to say at last, "I could not do what 1 wanted. I had to be content 
to do what I could." 

Fancy two portraits, one of a little chubby boy in child's dress, with 
a round face and clustering curls, and smooth cheeks and red lips, and another of 
an old man, with dimmed eyes, and thin locks and a bowed frame. 

The difference between the two is but the symbol cf the profcuiider dif- 
ference that separates the two selves which yet are the one self. The impetuous 
self-reliant, self-willed, hopeful, buoyant youth, and the weary feeble, broken 
old man. _.\nd yet through all these stages there runs a true philosophy of life, 
and that is found in obeying Hie great command "follow mo." 

What do we mean by following Christ? 

More and other to you than example, or coimiander, or companion. What 
authority has Jesus Christ to demand that a man should follow him to the death? 
Only that He has gone to the death for the man. 

you must follow Christ first, my friend, by coming to Him as a sinful 
creature, and finding your whole salvation and all your hope in humble reliance 
on the merit of His death. Then you may follow Him in obedience, and imitation 
and glaul coraraunion. 

That being understood I would press upon you this though, that such a 
following of Jesus Christ will preserve for you all that is blessed in the c>;ar- 
acteristic of your youth, and will prevent them from becoming evil. 

He will give you a basis for your hopes and fulfill to you your most 
sanguine dreams. Is Isaiah prophesies "the -drage shall become a pool." That 
which othenvise would prove an illusion, dancing ahead and deceiving the thirsty 
traveler into the belief that sand is water, shall become to you really "pools of 
water" from which you rnay slake an insatiable thirst of human life and live for- 
ever. 

If you follow Him your strength will not ebb away with shrunken sin- 
and enfeebled muscles. 

Your self-will will be elevated by holy submission, and become strong 
to control your rebellious nature, bec^aise it is humble to submit to His supreme 
c omraand. 

Your hope will be bouyant, and bright, and blessed and prolong its 
buoyancy, and brightness and blessedness into old age when others fade and their 
hop^ fails them. If you will follow Christ your old ago will, if you come to it, 
be saved from the bitterest pangs that afflict the aged, and will be brightened 
by future possibilities.

Tdjt future possibilities. 

There will be tic need for lingering regrets over blessings faded in 
the past, no need for shrinking- reluctaiice tc take the inevitable step. An old 
age of peaceful serene brightness caught frcm the nearer gleam of the approacMng 
heaven, and quiet as the evenings in the late auturm net v.'ithout a touch of frost, 
perhaps, but kindly, and fruitful may be curs. 

We shall put our hands Quietlj' and trustfully into His, as a little 
child does into its mother's soft warm palm, and shall not ask wither He lesids as- 
sured that since it is He v^ho leads we shall be lead aright. 

It is said of Diogenes that ho closed his own school that he might 
listen to the -words of the great teacher Socrates. 

In the four gospels. He speaks who overshadOR's the kingly instruc- 
tions of the past. 

He is the Divine tutor in whom Paul declared that the treasures of wis- 
dom and knowledge lay hid. 

Pay tc Him that divine honor that He merits. Have His imago stamped on 
each and all of your endowEients. 

Let your thoughts and affections turn toward nim, as the sunflov/er 
turns sunward througlxout the day, tc drink in its light, warmth, and life giving 
power. 

Say with Judson, "I do not desire to be like Peter or Paul, but only 
like Christ." So interlace Christ's example and precept with your own experience 
and profession, that you may say with the majestic champion of Christianity, "for 
me to live is Christ." May your future continuously echo the celestial acclaim 
"Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, and wisdomi, and 
strength, and honor, and glory and blessing." 

The above was followed by a paper by Prof. Llrasims Haworth on the "Fut- 
ure of the Haworth Family in America." 



?HB FUTURS: OF TH]| IIAWQHTir FAIJILY IN AI,GMCA 

3y Prof. Erasmus Haworth, .Lawrence, Kansas. 

He who enters in the field of protJhesy without divino inspiration is 
liable to become a false prophet. It was v;ith much reluctance that I obtained rn^ 
own consent tc v/rite a paper on tlie subject assigned me. This was not because it 
v/as H new subject to me, for I confess that hardlya day passes or has passed in 
the last 25 years without its having been in my mind. In fact, I can scarcely re- 
member when I was not asking myself this veTj question. Two days ago I hid the 
pleasure of saying to this convention that 1 was proud tc be able tc trace my lin- 
eage throufch an unbroken line to the original founder of our family in America. 
When I ufttered those woafds I v;ondered why I should say them, and that wondering 
has not yet left rae. Do I mean by this that I am not sure I am pleased with my 
ancestry? Or do I possibly mean that I have been contrasting, as best I could, 
the prospects for the future of our Family with those of other families in Ameri- 
ca. Most assuredly it is the latter. 

I have been asking it^rself the question: Does the future have in store

for our family opporttmities for v;ork and results along lines of usefulness, and 
will we respond and grasp such opportunities and biiild ourselves up into the full 
measure of manhood and vroinanhood tliat the centuries before us \Vill witness of oth- 
er great families? Do we as a Family have the potency necessary to enable us to 
keep abreast the front ranks of progi-ess as other families will do? some such 
thoughts as these are the ones that have become a part of ra^ everyday life, and 
which rnakes me continually wonder what the future will bring forth. 

Our history in America does not shine with many brilliant examples of 
{Treat warricro, or statesmen, or scholars, or poets, or artists, but we have had 
some of all of these. We are not descendants of royalty, or even nobles, or 
knights, or esquires to aay ccnsidercible eztent. But Y;e have a lineage passing 
thrcugh many generations of men strong' of mind and muscle, or great ambition to 
do tcrlay what was before them, and particularly reniarkable, if l read history a- 
right, for a great abundance of t?nat do-or-die detenainaticn which must charact- 
erize any family destined to accomplish great deeds, or any race destined to con- 
quer the world. If I read historj' aright the predominant characteristics of the 
English people for sturdiness, for determination, for "boldness, for courage, is 
a prominent characteristic of our family. I say this in all humility, but I be- 
lieve I would misquote historjr should I say it otherwise. 

^In all the fireside stories of ncr childhood and legendarj^ tales of 
latter years I have never heard of a man or boy bearing our name who was a cow- 
ard, or who v^as lacking in genuine courag'e. In pioneer life we were always to the 
front in contests of physical strength aad endurance, as with the ax in the forest, 
the sickle and cradle in the harvest flield. Legendary tales always put one of hqt 
relatives as the conqueror -in such contests. On the chase for wild animals with 
the old flintlock, or with the horse and hound in the dense forests of the Appal- 
achians, Ohio, or Indiana, where danger from animal and human foe was imminent, 
there one of niy ancestorg apparently I'/as able to go a little farther than his 
neighbor and to brinj; back gsjeater trophies in the form of game or pelts tlaan any 
one else. !iany a night have I sat round the open fire listening to stories told 
by parents and grandparents, by uncles, by aunts, of the perilous undertakings, of 
the great difficulties and dangers met bravely and courageously by one and another 
the sequel altvays sJaowing that so far as the undertakings were meritorious the re- 
sults were satisfactory. I have hoard of the lone man in the wilderness fighting 
against beasts and Indians, clearing the forests, building a home, working from day- 
light to dark day after day and week after week in order that he might return across 
the mountains to bring his family, his loved ones, with him to the new ?i0rae in tiie 
wilderness. 

I have heard of the boy, almost as in a faiiy story stepping out from 
his associates when a call was made for soaB great undertaking where risk of life or 
lime was imminent. I liave always noticed that the story was completed only when the 
little hero, regardless of danger and future results, with his detennination cen- 
tered upon the accomplishment of the task before him, dashing into the swollen 
stream, springing across the shaky log, meeting the v?ild animal as if to certain 
death, quickly stealing liis way throu^ the dense forest to rescue a neighbor in a 
lonely hut, or v/hatever the task be, returned, the task accomplished, or died in 
the undertaking. Ilany and many a time have I almost shuddered in childish fear 
lest the one who had already become the hero in 115? heart should fall or fail. But 
I do not recall an instance in v/hich the indiSidual hero of the story disappointed 
me. 

These remaites may seem a little vain-glorying, or a little out of 
place, or of such a nature that they had better be made by others. Yet, after all, 
it seems to me that one cannot male© predictions for the fulmte of any value with- 
out basing them upon family characteristics as manifested in the past. Therefore, 
1 repeat that for genuine courafic, for utter disregard of danger to self when a 
difficult or dangerous task was to be accomplished I doubt if any family in America. 
has, as a family, such courageous characteristics more prominently developed than 
ours.

And now, what of the future? These sturdy qualities sc prominent in 
our ancestors must of necessity 'be transmitted to posterity - I have no fear on 
that subject. The great and important question is regarding their guidance, 
their direction. Vi/ill we inherit or acquire that versatility of character neces- 
sary to adapt ourselves to the ever changing conditions of environment surrounding 
us? Without versatility fiimness liecomes stubbornness; stubbornness leads to in- 
dolence and decay. Stubbornness is firmness v/ithout judgment. Strength of char- 
acter without the capacity of changing as environments change is impossible; for 
it develops into a sort of rauleisliiiass or stubbornness which has nade the mule the 
brunt of jokes. The turtle can set its jaws on the fishing-hook and show firmness 
and courage enough to make it hold on even after its head is cut off. But what is 
gained by it? Will power, firmness, decision of character, and all other desira- 
ble mental traits must be governed by sound judgment and adaptability to circtm- 
stances, lest they become a weakness rather than a strength. 

Great men, great families, and great nations are those who have firm- 
ness, but not stubbornness; who are wide awake, alert, abreast of the times, ever 
changing front with changes of conditions, but who at all times and under all cir- 
cumstances have steadiness of purpose and resolute determination to foster at all 
times and in every possible way their material, moral, intellectual, and spiritual 
development. The accumulation of wealth is not greatness, but is a desirable fact- 
or in greatness; the increase in population is not greatness, but it is an essen- 
tial condition of national greatness; the increase and dissemination of knowledge 
is not greatness, but it is the strongest of all factors in all greatness; the pos- 
session of good intentions and desires is not greatness, but it is the only founda- 
tion upon which true greatness ever can be built. 

In the family characteristics of the Haworths I see an abundance of 
will power, of determination, of intensity of purpose to make them great as a famr- 
ily. With me the great question is regarding their versatility, their power to a- 
dapt themselves to changes in conditions that will constantly surround them. Can 
we change from the log cabin and the deer trail of a hundred years ago to the mod- 
em up-te-date residence and modem business and social methods? Can we ca^ry with 
us into the twentieth century the f iivmess and courage and energy of our forefath- 
ers and modify their applications to the new conditions ef^erarising? i believe we 
can and vi?ill. I believe that now, today, we are doing it, have been doing it, and 
will continue doing it so long as the liaworth name is found on the roster of Ameri- 
can citizenship. 

We ncv; occupy positions of honor and trust in almost all departments 
of federal, state, and municipal govemments. We have penetrated the colleges and 
great universities of the land as students and teachers and are occupying thous- 
ands of places in the lesser institutions of learning. The various per cents of 
illiteracy recorded eveiy decade by the government census does not belong to us. 
We are important factors in all church and benevolent work in every state where 
our name can be found, and while not Rothchildes, or Vanderbilts, or Hockefellers, 
yet the accumulated wealth of our fanily in America is no mean proportion to cur 
nation's prosperity. 

I believe our future is bright. I have faith that we will continue 
to grow, and prosper, and develop along all sides of modem civilisation. Let 
us take a family pride in this matter and help one another. I believe in stand- 
ing by each other for ovir mutual good. It is not necessary that one should be 
weak and the other strong in order to do good. If we are all strong we can help 
each other to become stronger, while if we are weak there is all the more to be 
gained by assistance. I wish something could be done here at this meeting to 
start a helping hand in some definite direction; something to hold out eneourage- 
tont and help to our young people particularly. For every generation ou^ht to be 
better and stronger than the one preceding it. 

Here's to the future of the Haworth Family in America. May they gain 
and prosper and grow in power and influence for all that is good and noble and el- 
evating and that works for the bettermane of mankind.

Note:- The following "brief sketch of the history and genealogy of a branch 
of the ilaworth Family recently written by Edv/ard Arthur Hawortli, of Afton, Ten- 
nessee, is of special interest just now in tliat it deals mostly with the descend- 
ants of Absalom, the second son of the Emigrant, of v/hose family but little had 
been known by the members of the Association prior to receiving this letter. 

The Printing Committee is glad to give it a place in this little vol- 
ume, hoping it may lead to the locating of a number of long lost cousins. 

The letter was written to Mahlcn Haworth, of Maryville, Tennessee, 
President of the Tennessee Association, and by him sent to the Printing Commit- 
tee. W.P.H. 



Afton, Tenn., Nov. Uth, 1902. 

Mr, Mahlon Haworth, Marj^ville, '^enn. 

Pear Sir:- I will now try as near as I can to give the history of the Ha- 
worths in upper East Tennessee. 

The first part of the history vsas obtained from High Point, Korth Carolina. 
The balance was written by my father, Howard K. Haworth, v/ho died in 1892. 

George Haworth came from England to America in 1699. He had six children, 
viz: stephanus, Absalom, John, James, George and l!ary. 

Stephanus, Absalom and James moved to Virginia and settled on the Opeckan 
River. 

Absalorn, son of George the Emigrant, had four children, viz- Nathaniel, 
Mary, Absalom and Hannah. He died in Virginia. Nathaniel married Hannah Barrett, 
and died in Virginia, leaving some children. 

Mary, Hannah and Absalom moved to Tennessee and died there. 

Mary married William white and lived in Hawkins county where they raised a 
large family i 

Hannah married Ben Moorland and also raised a lai^e family in Hawkins coxmty. 

Absalom lived in Green county and married Mary West, to which union a family 
of twelve children were bom, viz: Absalom R., Elizabeth, Mary, Nathaniel, sarah, 
Hannah, Ann, V/est, Edward, Silas, Howard E. , and Rachel. 

Abslaom married Lydia Ripleys, Elizabeth married James Harrison Davis, Mary 
married Thomas Doan, Nathaniel married Ann Olophant, Sar&h mrirried John Byler, 
Hannah married Richard White, Ann never married, ?/est married Rebecca white, Ed- 
ward never married, Silas moved to Illinois and married Mary Eubank, Hows.rd K. 
married Camneline Ripley and Rachel married George Kaworth her second cousin. 

Howard Z. Haworth was bom in 1812 and died in 1892. Camneline Ripley, his 
wife, was born in 1827 and died in 1898. They v/er§ married in 1842. The follow- 
ing is the record of their children: Mary Ann, bom in 1843, first married Christ- 
ian Bowers, and later Stephen S. Spencer, present post office address, Cherrelyn, 
Colorado.

family name more than one hxindred years. 

I have often heard of the Haworths of Jefferson County, but never have met 
any of them, and have wondered whfit relation we were. I would be pleased if you 
could give me some inf oriration on the subject; also, if you would keep me informed 
of the time and place for holding the Haworth Associations. 

Hoping to hear from you soon again, I ani respectfully, 

E. A. HAWORTH 



FATHER'S GREAT Altt-ICHAIR 
By Edwin P. Haworth 



Axaong the pleasures around the house 
The best one, I declare. 

Is just to sit and rock or doze 
In father's great anricliair. 

To come from playing hard all day 

iUid be all tired cut. 
It makes one feel real pert and gay 

And helps to make one stout. 
To spend an hour, ere he go 

To be alone, up stair. 
Sitting and rocking, to and fro. 

In father's great armchair. 

My Sister May and I, when we 

Y/ere tired of the fun. 
Used often tr^^ cur best, and see 

V/hich one could fastest run. 
And, though I was the younger and 

Could never jrun so fast 
As she, I got the upper hand 

And just the tiling 1 asked. 
Per, if 1 failed, then I would bite 

And scratch and pull May's hair 
Till mother ended up the fight 

By giving me - the chair. 

Last spring' ilay took dovsm very ill 

And had to lie in bed, 
And wanted us to all keep stilj.

Till finally my wother bore 

Her over, with a prayer, 
Where she might sit and smile, once more 

In father* s great aj-mcliair. 

And now if May v;oald coiae and live 
With us, no paius I'd spare 

TO imke hor happy - and I'd give 
Her father's groai armchair.
